To achieve the vision of networks that work without any supporting infrastructure, it needs wireless ad hoc technology to replace the cabling infrastructure, but it also need self-configuring network and application services to replace the server infrastructure. Current solutions perform poorly because they either pick a single host to act as the server or they use network wide broadcasts to implement services. It needs wireless ad hoc networks with zero servers and zero broadcasts. This paper starts to answer this question. It shows that it is important to remove broadcasts at all levels of the networking stack and describes how to use the Virtual Ring Routing protocol to achieve the vision.
