Abstract
When a requesting node () has routing capabilities and attempts to join a network and there are no association slots available, the requesting node () will send an association message to a potential root node (). If the root node () has reached the maximum number of links, and has a non-routing capable node () associated with it, the root node () will send a message to the non-routing capable node (), instructing it to disassociate and attempt to re-associate at a later time. A message is then sent to the requesting node () for it to associate with the root node ().
