Abstract
In embodiments of mesh network addressing, a router receives a packet to deliver to a network destination and determines if the network destination is within the mesh network. The network destination enables the router to discover a Routing Locator (RLOC) that is associated with the network destination and provides a routable network address for the network destination. The router can forward the received packet using the routable network address from the discovered Routing Locator. The router can discover the RLOC by searching a cache of RLOCs stored in the router, or by sending an address query.
