Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing node failures in a mesh network is provided. In an example method for, a trigger is sent to a target node to return test data. The test data received from the target node is analyzed. The target node is classified as valid if the test data is within expected parameters.

1-25. (canceled)
An apparatus, comprising an internet-of-things (IoT) mesh network device, comprising:
- a radio transceiver to communicate with devices in a mesh network;
- a node validator to determine if a device in the mesh network is invalid;
- and
- a fault controller to instruct the invalid device to exit the mesh network.
A method for managing node failures in a mesh network, comprising:
- sending a trigger to a target node to return test data;
- analyzing the test data received from the target node;
- and
- classifying the target node as valid if the test data is within expected parameters.
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed, direct a processor in a node to:
- communicate with a test node in a mesh network comprising a plurality of nodes;
- and
- determine if the test node in the mesh network is operating normally.
