Abstract

A process for routing data frames from a first node to a second node within a network is provided. The process includes: a tree routing sub-process, a source routing sub-process, a temporary routing sub-process and a mesh routing sub-process, wherein the particular sub-process for routing a data frame from the first node the second nodes is selected in accordance with the following logic executed on a processor: if the data frame has a source route header the source routing sub-process is selected; if there is an entry for the target address in a temporary routing table, the temporary routing sub-process is selected; if the second node is a coordinator node, the tree routing sub-process is selected; if the second node is not a coordinator node, the mesh routing sub-process is selected.
