    abstract = "Hierarchical, cluster-based routing greatly reduces routing table sizes compared to host-based routing, while reducing path efficiency by at most a constant factor. More importantly, the amount of routing related signalling traffic is reduced. On the other hand, address changes caused by nodes changing their cluster produces address management traffic. In this paper, we present a new local clustering method that produces dense and stable clusters, thereby minimizing address changes and allowing better and more stable network conditions for ad hoc routing."
