Abstract:
1. A method executed in one or more processing modules for identifying a set of type-A nodes from a set of nodes m of a network having a working association with a set B of nodes b of said network, said nodes m are nodes that are not precluded from installing a processing module of said processing modules, hereinafter also referred to as potential type-A nodes, comprising the steps of: identifying a subset T of nodes b that are t-good, where a node m then, choosing a subset of said potential type-A nodes as type-A nodes, such that that for each t-good node b in T, at least one node of the type-A nodes is good for node b; then, choosing zero or more additional ones of said potential type-A nodes as type-A nodes to cause a pair of two distinct type-A nodes m then, if there are nodes b in B that are not t-good, choosing zero or more additional ones of said potential type-A nodes as type-A nodes to provide, for each node b (a) one type-A node if said node b (b) a pair of type-A nodes, m
