Abstract
A method and a mesh node (200) for enabling communication of packets in a wireless mesh network with multiple mesh nodes. When receiving (2:2) an original advertisement message with a Bloom filter initiated by an original gateway (204), it is detected that a predetermined maximum fill rate is reached in the received Bloom filter. The mesh node (200) starts to act as an intermediate gateway and creates a new advertisement message (2:3) comprising a new initiated Bloom filter with a reduced fill rate. The new advertisement message is then transmitted (2:4) with the new Bloom filter while indicating that the new advertisement message originates from said original gateway (204).
