The Anhinga Project is developing an infrastructure
for building distributed applications
involving many-to-many communication
in an ad-hoc network
of proximal mobile wireless devices.
Due to this environment,
existing network protocols are inadequate,
and new network protocols are needed.
The Many-to-Many Protocol (M2MP)
is a new, experimental network protocol
for this environment.

Alan Kaminsky.
“Distributed Applications Using Broadcast Messages With No Addresses.”
April 10, 2001.
Describes how to build distributed applications
where messages are broadcast to all processes,
therefore no host addresses are needed.
