Abstract
Techniques are directed to determining a rank value associated with a first network node. An example method includes determining a second network node indicated as being a preferred parent network node for the first network node. A first rank value is processed to determine a second rank value, the first rank value corresponding to a path from the second network node to a destination network node, including rounding up the first rank value in a predetermined manner to at least a second next higher integral rank value than the first rank value, to determine the second rank value. The second rank value is processed with at least a third rank value to determine the rank value associated with the first network node, the third rank value associated with a path from one of a plurality of candidate parent network nodes, for the first network node, to the destination network node.
