Route tracing in wireless networks

摘要

A method traces a route in a wireless network including nodes. A trace packet is generated in a tracer node. The trace packet includes addresses of a source node and a destination node in a route. The trace packet is sent from the tracer node to the source node, and then along the route to the destination node. In response to receiving the trace packet in each node along the route, a report packet is sent to the tracer node.
