Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to intelligent migration between personal area networks (PANs) of a wireless mesh network. In one example, a method includes receiving, by a node connected to a first PAN, a packet from a second PAN. Based on the packet, the node determines that a second instability factor related to stability of the second PAN differs by at least a margin from a first instability factor related to stability of the first PAN. The node transmits, to a neighboring node in the first PAN, a migration notification message indicating that the node is migrating and receives, from the neighboring node in the first PAN, a request for the node to remain in the first PAN. The node applies one or more rules to reject the request for the node to remain in the first PAN and, based on rejecting the request, proceeds to complete the migration.
