Abstract: A process described herein facilitates linking nodes to form a directional network in GPS-denied circumstances. Synchronized nodes wirelessly transmit link establishment requests on pseudo-randomly selected time slots within sub-templates, receive link establishment responses from unsynchronized node on the same time slot in future sub-templates, and transmit link establishment acknowledgements on the same time slot to the unsynchronized node. Upon receipt of the link establishment acknowledgement, the unsynchronized node calculates a clock value to match a clock value of the synchronized node and establishes a link therewith.

Abstract: A pre-scaled accumulated byte count of a port of a network node over a sampling period is scaled with a scaling factor to generate a scaled accumulated byte count. The pre-scaled accumulated byte count represents a total number of bytes in packets transferred by the port. The scaling factor represents a first port-specific attribute of the port and scales a port-specific maximum throughput of the port to a specific maximum port throughput of the network node. An iterative vector encoding method is applied to the scaled accumulated byte count to generate an encoded bit vector comprising bits respectively ordered bit positions. Each set bit of the encoded bit vector represents a respective weighted value of port utilization of the port. The encoded bit vector is stored, at a map location, in an operational statistics map.
