Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a first node is adapted for communication with a plurality of additional nodes of a communication network, such as a Delaunay Triangulation (DT) network. The first node is configured to detect a failure in delivery of a broadcast packet to at least a given one of the additional nodes. Responsive to the detected failure in delivery of the broadcast packet to the given additional node, the first node encapsulates the broadcast packet in a unicast packet for delivery to a downstream node of the given additional node. The first node may be configured to detect the failure in delivery of the broadcast packet to the given additional node using a hop level acknowledgment process. Other embodiments are configured to facilitate implementation of progressive search by communicating identifiers from boundary nodes of the network that are reached in a given stage of the progressive search.
