Ad Hoc networks have thus far been studied in small networks utilizing nodes with limited capabilities, in particular utilizing only one data link. However the possibility for more complex nodes with a multitude of interfaces exists. This paper proposes a sub-layer used to manage and take advantage of these interfaces and present them in a unified matter to the upper layers. The algorithm behind the protocol is being described and then implemented in the OPNET simulator. The results prove the correct functionality and adequate performance of the algorithm.
