Abstract
A system and method is presented for broadcasting from a utility node a request for network routing information, receiving at the utility node routing information from neighboring utility nodes in response to the broadcast request, and registering the utility node with an access point that provides ingress and egress to and from the network. A node is selected to function as a proxy gateway for one or more other nodes in the network. A new utility node becomes connected to one or more utility networks by registering with the proxy gateway. The proxy gateway transmits registration requests and registration information from each node to a back office server and/or a Domain Name Server via an access point for which the proxy gateway functions as its proxy.
