Abstract
In embodiments, a communication node of a multi-node communication network includes a communication interface and a controller communicatively coupled to the communication interface. In embodiments, the controller is configured to receive a first data packet transmitted from a source communication node to a destination communication node; transmit the first data packet via a packet flooding procedure; receive a first route response transmitted from the destination communication node along a discovered route; relay an additional data packet transmitted from the source communication node to the destination communication node along the discovered route; determine a route failure of the additional data packet; re-transmit the additional data packet to the destination communication node via a packet flooding procedure; receive an additional route response transmitted from the destination communication node along a recovered route; and relay a second additional data packet transmitted from the source communication node along the recovered route.
