Link management mechanisms (LMMs) are responsible for the formation of the logical topology of networks by opening and closing links between stations and are an integral part of most of proactive routing protocols. In this work, a class of LMMs is analyzed in which the decision on opening and closing links is made on the basis of a sequence of received/lost special control messages. In particular, the considered class includes LMMs employed in the well-known OLSR and TBRPF routing protocols. An analytical model of this class of LMM, enabling one to analyze the efficiency of different LMMs and recommend the choice of their parameters, is developed.
