A packet forwarding determination capability is disclosed herein. The packet forwarding determination capability enables determination of handling of a packet at a current node of a network. A set of candidate neighbor nodes is determined for the current node from a representation of respective locations of the neighbor nodes. The set of candidate neighbor nodes includes each of the neighbor nodes located at least within a circle defined within the representation and having a diameter defined by a line between the current node and a destination node of the packet. The routing of the packet at the current node is determined using the set of candidate neighbor nodes. The routing of the packet may include forwarding the packet toward a next-hop node or identifying the current node as being the intended destination of the packet.
An apparatus for determining packet routing at a current node having a plurality of neighbor nodes associated therewith, the apparatus comprising:
A method for determining packet routing at a current node having a plurality of neighbor nodes associated therewith, the method comprising:
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for determining packet routing at a current node having a plurality of neighbor nodes associated therewith, the method comprising:
