AUTOMATICALLY MANAGING A MESH NETWORK BASED ON DYNAMICALLY SELF-CONFIGURING NODE DEVICES

Abstract:

The disclosure herein describes configuring a mesh network of node devices for routing data. Based on detecting a connection to a second device, the first node device sends a mesh node signature to the second device and receives a mesh node signature from the second device. The mesh node signature list of the first node device is updated to include the mesh node signature of the second device. If mesh network requirements are satisfied based on the mesh node signature list, a mesh network configuration is generated by the first node device based on mesh network configuration rules and the updated mesh node signature list. The mesh network configuration is sent to at least the second device by the first node device based on the mesh node signature list and the first node device routes network traffic data to at least the second device based on the mesh network configuration.
