However, this roll call system has shortcomings: One confidential source highly familiar with the workings of Link-11 and Link 22 told Armada that the roll call systems means that "technically there is no congestion (on a Link n network), but the net cycle turnaround (the time taken to transmit and receive by all Participating Units) is extremely long, so the tactical data refresh rate is unacceptably long and you endanger the mission." Furthermore, Link-11 is a point-to-point communications system which means that it cannot perform ad hoc networking by which a transmission can reach its intended recipient by hopping across several Participating Units acting as relays to get the transmissions to their intended recipient.
