Abstract
The present disclosure encompasses establishing and maintaining a routing protocol based on a measured link metric p, such as for a smart grid communication system. A link between a first node such as a router A and a neighbouring second node B of a communication path from a source to a destination in a packet oriented communication network is selected wherein the two nodes are connected via first and second communication links. An updated link metric p(t+1) at a point in time t+1 of the first communication link is determined. The first or the second communication link is selected for transmitting a further packet from node A to node B by comparing the updated link metric p(t+1) to a threshold p.
