Abstract
A node operable in a mesh communication network and a method performed thereby for routing a received packet towards a destination are provided. The method includes receiving a packet addressed to a destination node in the mesh network, the packet including information related to address of source node, last hop address, address of destination node, and a hop counter. The method further includes determining whether the destination address is included in a routing table of the node in the mesh communication network. When the destination address is included in a routing table, the received packet is forwarded according to the routing table; or when the destination address is not included in a routing table, the received packet is flooded by broadcasting it in the mesh communication network.
