Node Directed Multicast Traffic Management Systems and Methods for Mesh Networks

摘要

Systems and related methods include node directed management of multicast traffic within a wireless mesh network. A wireless mesh network may include a plurality of mesh nodes and a central server in communication with at least one of the mesh nodes of the plurality of mesh nodes. The central server may be configured to generate one or more rules for at least one of the mesh nodes to instruct a change in a pre-routing parameter in a packet header based on received channel state information. The central server may include a rules-based engine configured to generate and convey one or more traffic shaping rules in response to sensing traffic conditions. The position of received multicast packets in a packet order may be modified.

1. A multicast traffic management system, comprising:
a plurality of mesh nodes, one or more mesh nodes of the plurality of mesh nodes configured to receive channel state information; and a central server communicatively coupled to the one or more mesh nodes, the central server configured to generate one or more rules, the one or more rules to instruct a change in a pre-routing parameter of a multicast packet received at the one or more mesh nodes based, at least in part, on the channel state information.
