Abstract
Technology for network loop detection in a hybrid mesh network is described. In one embodiment, processing logic receives a network event message indicating a change in a network topology of a mesh network and, responsive to the network event message, determines that the mesh network includes at least one network loop comprising a plurality of communication links connecting two nodes of the mesh network. The processing logic further determines that the at least one network loop includes at least one wired communication link and disables at least one of the plurality of communication links to disconnect the at least one network loop.
