19 /// \class RF22Mesh RF22Mesh.h <RF22Mesh.h>
20 /// \brief RF22 subclass for sending addressed, optionally acknowledged datagrams
21 /// multi-hop routed across a network, with automatic route discovery
22 ///
23 /// Extends RF22Router to add automatic route discovery within a mesh of adjacent nodes,
24 /// and route signalling.
25 ///
26 /// Unlike RF22Router, RF22Mesh can be used in networks where the network topology is fluid, or unknown,
27 /// or if nodes can mode around or go in or out of service. When a node wants to send a
28 /// message to another node, it will automcatically discover a route to the destaintion node and use it.
29 /// If the route becomes unavailable, a new route will be discovered.
30 ///
31 /// \par Route Discovery
32 ///
33 /// When a RF22Mesh mesh node is initialised, it doe not know any routes to any other nodes
34 /// (see RF22Router for details on route and the routing table).
35 /// When you attempt to send a message with sendtoWait, will first check to see if there is a route to the
36 /// destinastion node in the routing tabl;e. If not, it wil initialite 'Route Discovery'.
37 /// When a node needs to discover a route to another node, it broadcasts MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage
38 /// with a message type of RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST.
39 /// Any node that receives such a request checks to see if it is a request for a route to itself
40 /// (in which case it makes a unicast reply to the originating node with a
41 /// MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage
42 /// with a message type of RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE)
43 /// otherwise it rebroadcasts the request, after adding itself to the list of nodes visited so
44 /// far by the request.
45 ///
46 /// If a node receives a RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST that already has itself
47 /// listed in the visited nodes, it knows it has already seen and rebroadcast this request,
48 /// and threfore ignores it. This prevents broadcast storms.
49 /// When a node receives a RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST it can use the list of
50 /// nodes aready visited to deduce routes back towards the originating (requesting node).
51 /// This also means that when the destination node of the request is reached, it (and all
52 /// the previous nodes the request visited) will have a route back to the originating node.
53 /// This means the unicast RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE
54 /// reply will be routed successfully back to the original route requester.
55 ///
56 /// The RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE sent back by the destination node contains
57 /// the full list of nodes that were visited on the way to the destination.
58 /// Therefore, intermediate nodes that route the reply back towards the originating node can use the
59 /// node list in the reply to deduce routes to all the nodes between it and the destination node.
60 ///
61 /// Therefore, RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST and
62 /// RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE together ensure the original requester and all
63 /// the intermediate nodes know how to route to the source and destination nodes and every node along the path.
64 ///
65 /// Note that there is a race condition here that can effect routing on multipath routes. For example,
66 /// if the route to the destination can traverse several paths, last reply from the destination
67 /// will be the one used.
68 ///
69 /// \par Route Failure
70 ///
71 /// RF22Router (and therefore RF22Mesh) use reliable hop-to-hop delivery of messages using
72 /// hop-to-hop acknowledgements, but not end-to-end acknowledgements. When sendtoWait() returns,
73 /// you know that the message has been delivered to the next hop, but not if it is (or even if it can be)
74 /// delivered to the destination node. If during the course of hop-to-hop routing of a message,
75 /// one of the intermediate RF22Mesh nodes finds it cannot deliver to the next hop
76 /// (say due to a lost route or no acknwledgement from the next hop), it replies to the
77 /// originator with a unicast MeshRouteFailureMessage RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_FAILURE message.
78 /// Intermediate nodes (on the way beack to the originator)
79 /// and the originating node use this message to delete the route to the destination
80 /// node of the original message. This means that if a route to a destination becomes unusable
81 /// (either because an intermediate node is off the air, or has moved out of range) a new route
82 /// will be established the next time a message is to be sent.
83 ///
84 /// \par Message Format
85 ///
86 /// RF22Mesh uses a number of message formats layered on top of RF22Router:
87 /// - MeshApplicationMessage (message type RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_APPLICATION).
88 /// Carries an application layer message for the caller of RF22Mesh
89 /// - MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage (message types RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST
90 /// and RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE). Carries Route Discovery messages
91 /// (broadcast) and replies (unicast).
92 /// - MeshRouteFailureMessage (message type RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_FAILURE) Informs nodes of
93 /// route failures.
94 ///
95 /// Part of the Arduino RF22 library for operating with HopeRF RF22 compatible transceivers
96 /// (see http://www.hoperf.com)
