A DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EGRESS PACKET FORWARDING USING MESH TAGGING

摘要

A method for packet forwarding using a tag in a mesh network is described herein. A packet is received on a non-mesh port of a first mesh network device of the mesh network. One or more available paths between the first mesh network device and a second mesh network device are determined. A path of the one or more available paths is selected based on an egress forwarding rule associated with the path. A tag associated with the selected path is inserted into the packet. The packet is forwarded along the selected path.
