Table 3 Comparison of cell proliferation with blind rebroadcasting

It is local to the micro environment of the cells and uses information either by direct signaling or by indirect signaling via the micro environment

Each node has no state information about the topology or the neighborhood of the nodes

Cells are identical to each other and goes through the same life cycle

Every node performs the same simple task of forwarding a received data packet

Each cell divides into two so that the number of cells should grow exponentially if there are no regulatory mechanisms

Total number of packets in the network grows exponentially

Cells are organized into a dense population in a biological organ

Large number of interacting nodes in the network
