Abstract
A mesh network protocol, comprising: receiving a packet from a sender, identifying the sender, a prior sender, a flood mode, a time-to-live, and a sequence identifier; marking the recipient as critical if during a full flood period, the recipient is the same as the prior sender, and marking the recipient as non-critical if no packet is received with the recipient the same as the prior sender; rebroadcasting the packet, modified by updating sender with the recipient, and sender as prior sender, decrementing the time to live until expiration, and, the identity of the recipient is different from the identity of the prior sender in full flood mode; or the identity of the recipient is different from the prior sender, and the recipient is critical, in partial flood mode.
