<p>It is described a method for transmitting data between network elements (A, B, C, D, E, F) defining an anycast group within a mesh network, in particular within a wireless mesh LAN. The method comprises transmitting data from a transmitting element (A) of the anycast group to an intermediate element (E) of the anycast group, sending an acknowledgement message from the intermediate element (E) to the transmitting element (A) indicating a receipt of the data, transmitting a confirmation message from the transmitting element (A) to the intermediate element (E) indicating that the intermediate element (E) is responsible for forwarding the data to a receiving element (D) of the anycast group, and forwarding the data from the intermediate element (E) to the receiving element (D). It is further described a transmitting element (A), an intermediate element (E) and a mesh network comprising at least the transmitting element (A) and the intermediate element (E), which are adapted for performing the above mentioned method.</p> |
