Techniques and devices for expressing multicast groups using Weave traits are described for generating a multicast address in which a wireless network device receives an application group identifier and hashes the application group identifier to generate a group identifier. The wireless network device concatenates a global identifier and a Weave fabric identifier, inserts the concatenated global identifier and the Weave fabric identifier into a network prefix field of a destination address and inserts the group identifier into a group identifier field of the destination address. The wireless network device sets the value of a plen field of the destination address to a value that indicates a length of the Weave fabric identifier and inserts the destination address into an Internet Protocol version 6 data packet.

Expressing multicast groups using weave traits

Systems and methods relating to communication over relatively low power protocols by adding reliability functionality are presented. Sent messages having reliability functionality include an acknowledgment request flag that indicates that the message includes a request to acknowledge the request once received and an application payload that includes data for the message. The acknowledgment request flag causes responding devices to send an acknowledgment message to the sending device indicating that the sent message has been received.

Wireless network reliability over relatively low-power protocols

Systems and methods relating to transmitting data between an internetwork of multiple networks. The transmitted data uses a device address that uses a common addressing scheme regardless of network protocols used to implement the multiple networks. The multiple networks includes networks having multiple network protocols, and the multiple networks extend a connection from a home network to a service using a tunnel.
