Self Forming / Self Healing Mesh

A key benefit of a mesh network is the ability to self-form and self-heal. The network identifies the nodes that share the same network ID and automatically creates a network structure that connects all nodes directly or indirectly to the border router. This process is fully automatic, the user does not manage this process. The algorithm that manages this process is called RPL (pronounced as ripple), which is standardized in RFC6550. Once the network is established, then the connectivity is constantly monitored for changes. If a node disappears or a new node appears, then the network will re-route itself to accommodate the change. This also takes place without user interaction, it is fully automatic. Radiocrafts has developed the RIIM™ network dashboard, a tool that reports link quality to allow the user to check and potentially re-arrange the node positions to improve quality.
