- /// \class RHMesh RHMesh.h <RHMesh.h>
- /// \brief RHRouter subclass for sending addressed, optionally acknowledged datagrams
- /// multi-hop routed across a network, with automatic route discovery
- ///
- /// Manager class that extends RHRouter to add automatic route discovery within a mesh of adjacent nodes,
- /// and route signalling.
- ///
- /// Unlike RHRouter, RHMesh can be used in networks where the network topology is fluid, or unknown,
- /// or if nodes can mode around or go in or out of service. When a node wants to send a
- /// message to another node, it will automatically discover a route to the destination node and use it.
- /// If the route becomes unavailable, a new route will be discovered.
- ///
- /// \par Route Discovery
- ///
- /// When a RHMesh mesh node is initialised, it doe not know any routes to any other nodes
- /// (see RHRouter for details on route and the routing table).
- /// When you attempt to send a message with sendtoWait, will first check to see if there is a route to the
- /// destinastion node in the routing tabl;e. If not, it wil initialite 'Route Discovery'.
- /// When a node needs to discover a route to another node, it broadcasts MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage
- /// with a message type of RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST.
- /// Any node that receives such a request checks to see if it is a request for a route to itself
- /// (in which case it makes a unicast reply to the originating node with a
- /// MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage
- /// with a message type of RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE)
- /// otherwise it rebroadcasts the request, after adding itself to the list of nodes visited so
- /// far by the request.
- ///
- /// If a node receives a RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST that already has itself
- /// listed in the visited nodes, it knows it has already seen and rebroadcast this request,
- /// and threfore ignores it. This prevents broadcast storms.
- /// When a node receives a RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST it can use the list of
- /// nodes aready visited to deduce routes back towards the originating (requesting node).
- /// This also means that when the destination node of the request is reached, it (and all
- /// the previous nodes the request visited) will have a route back to the originating node.
- /// This means the unicast RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE
- /// reply will be routed successfully back to the original route requester.
- ///
- /// The RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE sent back by the destination node contains
- /// the full list of nodes that were visited on the way to the destination.
- /// Therefore, intermediate nodes that route the reply back towards the originating node can use the
- /// node list in the reply to deduce routes to all the nodes between it and the destination node.
- ///
- /// Therefore, RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST and
- /// RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE together ensure the original requester and all
- /// the intermediate nodes know how to route to the source and destination nodes and every node along the path.
- ///
- /// Note that there is a race condition here that can effect routing on multipath routes. For example,
- /// if the route to the destination can traverse several paths, last reply from the destination
- /// will be the one used.
- ///
- /// \par Route Failure
- ///
- /// RHRouter (and therefore RHMesh) use reliable hop-to-hop delivery of messages using
- /// hop-to-hop acknowledgements, but not end-to-end acknowledgements. When sendtoWait() returns,
- /// you know that the message has been delivered to the next hop, but not if it is (or even if it can be)
- /// delivered to the destination node. If during the course of hop-to-hop routing of a message,
- /// one of the intermediate RHMesh nodes finds it cannot deliver to the next hop
- /// (say due to a lost route or no acknwledgement from the next hop), it replies to the
- /// originator with a unicast MeshRouteFailureMessage RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_FAILURE message.
- /// Intermediate nodes (on the way beack to the originator)
- /// and the originating node use this message to delete the route to the destination
- /// node of the original message. This means that if a route to a destination becomes unusable
- /// (either because an intermediate node is off the air, or has moved out of range) a new route
- /// will be established the next time a message is to be sent.
- ///
- /// \par Message Format
- ///
- /// RHMesh uses a number of message formats layered on top of RHRouter:
- /// - MeshApplicationMessage (message type RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_APPLICATION).
- /// Carries an application layer message for the caller of RHMesh
- /// - MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage (message types RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST
- /// and RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE). Carries Route Discovery messages
- /// (broadcast) and replies (unicast).
- /// - MeshRouteFailureMessage (message type RH_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_FAILURE) Informs nodes of
- /// route failures.
- ///
- /// Part of the Arduino RH library for operating with HopeRF RH compatible transceivers
- /// (see http://www.hoperf.com)
- ///
- /// \par Memory
- ///
- /// RHMesh programs require significant amount of SRAM, often approaching 2kbytes,
- /// which is beyond or at the limits of some Arduinos and other processors. Programs
- /// with additional software besides basic RHMesh programs may well require even more. If you have insufficient
- /// SRAM for your program, it may result in failure to run, or wierd crashes and other hard to trace behaviour.
- /// In this event you should consider a processor with more SRAM, such as the MotienoMEGA with 16k
- /// (https://lowpowerlab.com/shop/moteinomega) or others.
- ///
- /// \par Performance
- /// This class (in the interests of simple implemtenation and low memory use) does not have
- /// message queueing. This means that only one message at a time can be handled. Message transmission
- /// failures can have a severe impact on network performance.
- /// If you need high performance mesh networking under all conditions consider XBee or similar.
