<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for collecting routing information in a mesh network without the need for an excessive overhead. <P>SOLUTION: The method includes receiving a request to identify any communication paths visible to a first router 104d in a mesh network 100 and broadcasting the request. The method also includes identifying one or more second routers 104a to 104e that broadcast information received by the first router 104d, where the one or more identified second routers 104a to 104e are associated with the communication paths visible to the first router 104d. The method further includes receiving at least one first response from at least one of the second routers 104a to 104e, where the at least one first response identifies the communication paths visible to at least one of the second routers 104a to 104e. In addition, the method includes broadcasting a second response at the first router, where the second response identifies the communication paths visible to at least one of the second routers 104a to 104e and to the first router 104d. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
