Abstract
Multiple routes from a data source node to multiple data destination nodes in a large scale multi-hop mesh network are discovered. Nodes discover multiple routes to two destinations in an initial discovery phase that includes only two network-wide flooding of packets. The method can also work with one destination. The method can be extended to include more destinations with a proportional increase in the communication overhead. After the completion of the discovery phase, nodes can communicate or forward their own or received data by using any of the available routes.
