Abstract
An example device at a gateway node in a mesh network comprising: a processor to negotiate with other gateway node in the mesh network to obtain a common network identifier wherein the mesh network includes at least two gateway nodes uniquely identified by at least two node identifiers; report the common network identifier to a route generator for establishing a source routing tree for gateway nodes in the mesh network, wherein the source routing tree includes the gateway node as a root and a plurality of non-root nodes each comprising a non-gateway node including the device.
Claims18
A device at a gateway node in a mesh network comprising a processor to:
- send a detection frame to one or more network devices in the mesh network communicatively coupled to the device;
- determine a number of gateway devices in the mesh network based on a number of received detection frames;
- negotiate with other gateway node in the mesh network to obtain a common network identifier wherein the mesh network includes at least two gateway nodes uniquely identified by at least two node identifiers;
- and
- report the common network identifier to a route generator for establishing a source routing tree for gateway nodes in the mesh network, wherein the source routing tree includes the gateway node as a root and a plurality of non-root nodes each comprising a non-gateway node including the device.
A method comprising:
- sending a detection frame to one or more network devices in the mesh network communicatively coupled to the device;
- determining a number of gateway devices in the mesh network based on a number of received detection frames;
- negotiating, by a processor of a gateway node, with other gateway node in the mesh network to obtain a common network identifier wherein the mesh network includes at least two gateway nodes uniquely identified by at least two node identifiers;
- and
- reporting, by the processor, the common network identifier to a route generator for establishing a source routing tree for gateway nodes in the mesh network, wherein the source routing tree includes the gateway node as a root and a plurality of non-root nodes each comprising a non-gateway node including the device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a gateway node, causes the processor to:
- send a detection frame to one or more network devices in the mesh network communicatively coupled to the device;
- determine a number of gateway devices in the mesh network based on a number of received detection frames;
- negotiate with other gateway node in the mesh network to obtain a common network identifier wherein the mesh network includes at least two gateway nodes uniquely identified by at least two node identifiers;
- and
- report the common network identifier to a route generator for establishing a source routing tree for gateway nodes in the mesh network, wherein the source routing tree includes the gateway node as a root and a plurality of non-root nodes each comprising a non-gateway node including the device.
