Mesh Broadcast Data Delivery The proposal shall enable MAC-layer broadcast or multicast data delivery across the L2R network Mesh Unicast Data Delivery The proposal shall enable MAC-layer unicast data delivery across the L2R network Route discovery The proposal shall support at least one technique for route discovery. The technique supported may be proactive or reactive in nature The proposal may allow a mix of reactive and proactive route discovery techniques to be present in the network. It should be possible for the route discovery or route maintenance process to optimize the path of a route based on a metric or combination of metrics. If appropriate, it should be possible to use the data flow over a route as part of the maintenance process for that route. Memory usage The proposal shall allow the amount of memory per node used for routing to be configured, in order to allow a mix of devices with different memory sizes to be present in the network. The proposal may use different techniques within the same network to provide routing decisions when the amount of memory available at some nodes is at a premium. The proposal should provide methods to optimize the use of memory dedicated to routing by promoting re-use. It should be possible to remove routes and reuse the memory based on a number of factors such as amount of available memory, amount of traffic using a route, lifetime, and priority. It should be possible to protect and maintain particular routes while others are allowed to be removed. Mesh Network Size The proposal shall support 1000-10000 devices in the L2R network. [really a performance parameter may be better in section 6] Deployment architecture It should be possible to operate as a self contained network, without connection to the internet or external network A self-contained network should offer similar levels of security to that provided when connected to an external network.
