This paper presents @Flood, an adaptive protocol for flooding in
wireless ad hoc networks that allows each node to auto-tune the
configuration parameters, or even change the forwarding algorithm,
according to the properties of the execution environment. Using
@Flood, nodes auto-configure themselves, circumventing the need for
pre-configuring all the devices in the network for the expected
operational conditions, which is impractical or even impossible in
very dynamic environments.
