<p>A multi-point to multi-point system includes a plurality of multi-point nodes. Each of the multi-point nodes includes a transmitter that broadcasts over at least one sector, a receiver that receives broadcast over the sectors, a router, and a memory. Sector identifiers corresponding to each sector are stored in the memory and broadcast over their respective sectors. A link routing table is stored in the memory and is used to inform the router of available communication paths for the multi-point node based on receipt of at least one sector identifier from another multi-point node. A root multi-point node that communicates with at least one of the multi-point nodes includes a memory that stores at least one sector identifier. The sector identifier is communicated to at least one of multi-point nodes. A root node link routing table is stored in the memory that includes contents of link routing tables from all of the plurality of multi-point nodes.</p> |
