Mesh network transmission decisions based on node performance metrics

A computing device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform operations including:
• receiving, at a network device on a network, performance metrics associated with an additional network device on the network;
• generating performance metrics associated with the network device;
• storing the performance metrics associated with the network device and the performance metrics associated with the additional network device;
• and
• transmitting the performance metrics associated with the network device and the performance metrics associated with an additional network device, wherein when the performance metrics are received, the performance metrics are used to determine whether data will be transmitted to the network device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• receive, at a network device on a network, performance metrics associated with an additional network device on the network;
• generate performance metrics associated with the network device;
• store the performance metrics associated with the network device and the performance metrics associated with the additional network device;
• and
• transmit the performance metrics associated with the network device and the performance metrics associated with an additional network device, wherein when the performance metrics are received, the performance metrics are used to determine whether data will be transmitted to the network device.
