Abstract
A method and system for determining device presence in a mesh network and for directing messages to a destination within the network is presented. Node devices periodically issue device presences messages that are propagated through the network. Receiving devices store and analyze data from received device presence messages to determine presence and nodal distance to other nodes. Device presence message data can be used to route directed messages on the network and for network analysis.
