Abstract

A device and method of routing traffic in a network by receiving the network, assigning a maximum temperature value to gateway nodes, calculating temperature values for router nodes, determining self-utilization values for nodes, determining neighborhood-utilization values for router nodes, determining pressure values for gateway nodes, determining pressure values for router nodes, identifying router node sent traffic, identifying neighboring nodes having higher temperatures than router node, identifying neighboring node with lowest pressure value, sending traffic to neighboring node with lowest pressure value, and stopping if the neighboring node is a gateway node, otherwise identifying the node as a router node and returning to the step of finding neighboring nodes.
