[ns] how to form clusters for distributed approach

[Dheepa Rajendran]

Hi ,

My Project is Address Autoconfiguraion in MANET and i
have to do that in Distributed Approach.For
Distributed approach,the network area should be
splitted into many subareas so that there will be
several servers in one full network area.My doubt is 
1. Whether the area should be seperated into many
grids and in each grid we have to assign one server?

 or

2. No need of grid formation.the nodes can be placed
anywhere.In such case how to limit the range of
node.(since one node's broadcast message will be
received to all in the network area.according to my
pjt node sholud be reachable only from its server and
not any other server.)
but server-server communication sholud be there.

If anyone knows,pls suggest ur ideas.

Thanks in advance.
