EtherMESH Overview

EtherMESH is a multi-hop 'meshed' network purpose built for low power battery-powered devices. A meshed network is a network topology where each node must not only capture and disseminate its own data, but also serve as a relay for other nodes. Each node must collaborate and propagate the data in the network and any two devices that wish to exchange data in an EtherMESH network must utilize intermediate nodes or gateways to be successful.

EtherMESH uses a proprietary, patents pending, optimized flood fill algorithm to propagate traffic that eliminates the need for specific node types and significantly reduces the need for configuration parameters. EtherMESH optimizations include the ability to significantly reduce redundant re-transmissions and the ability to allow extended sleep times.
