Abstract
A regulation method and device intended to resorb congestion on a mesh communication network including a plurality of node devices using powerline communications, a route request being sent by a source node device and copies of the route request being relayed by gradual broadcasting by intermediate node devices. The intermediate node device is able to send messages on at least one frequency band by powerline and over a radio channel, and by means of the intermediate node device: detects a congestion situation, identifies route requests as being important, relays only copies of the important relay requests on a frequency band and over the radio channel, and relays copies of the non-important route requests on a frequency band or over the radio channel.
