Dear all, Greetings. I am new in the field of ad hoc network, so please pardon me for asking a naive question: what is the importance of finding out the scalability of ad hoc network? Arpacioglu et al. in [1] have pointed out the importance of knowing the scalability of the methods in use in an ad hoc network, as allowing us to see which method is more scalable. But scalability of a method is not the scalability of a network. Santivanez et al. in [2] have mentioned that we can know which type of network (purely ad hoc, hybrid, etc.) scales better than the other. However, isn't the choice of network type should depend on the usage scenario instead of scalability? Various usage scenarios have been summarized by Yang et al. in [3]. Santivanez et al. also mentioned about the possible desire of knowing whether a network is scalable in [2]. However, according to [1], absolute scalability of a method may not be possible in many situations. If any method is unlikely to be absolutely scalable, is it likely that a network is absolutely scalable? If the answer is not, then what is the importance of knowing the scalability of ad hoc network?
