Abstract: A method and apparatus in an ad hoc network, comprising: a node advertising a theoretical destination it is not currently connected to as part of a theoretical route; allocating to the theoretical destination a special metric value that gives a reduced likelihood of selection as a suitable route compared to conventionally available routes; determining that a message from a further node is to be transmitted via the theoretical route; the node receiving the message from the further node when the node is at a first location and storing the message; the node moving from the first location to a second location thereby transforming the theoretical route into a new real route; and the node transmitting the message to a second further node as part of the new real route.
