During an initialization phase, some nodes of a network form clusters. The nodes in a cluster share information with a leader node, which knows all of the nodes that each of the nodes in the cluster is aware of. During a growth phase, clusters are randomly activated or deactivated. The nodes of the activated clusters message randomly selected known nodes, asking the nodes to merge with the cluster. The nodes of deactivated clusters determine which activated cluster to join based on received messages. After the growth phase ends, the remaining clusters may merge to form a single cluster, and the list of nodes known to the leader of the single cluster may be shared as the list of all nodes on the network. |
