Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product to managing links in a network. A directional link management system comprises a network manager, a router, a situational awareness database, a neighbor discovery module, a topology manager, and a data link manager. The network manager provides performance parameters for a wireless network. The router routes information to neighbor nodes provides information about links between nodes in the wireless network environment. The situational awareness database stores information about the nodes. The neighbor discovery module detects a presence of a new node. The topology manager identifies a set of links for a node using the set of performance parameters, information about the links, and information about the nodes. The data link manager manages the identified links.
