Abstract: A method includes determining a number of drops of a plurality of messages sent to a first node of a plurality of nodes within a mesh network. Based at least in part on the number of drops of the plurality of messages exceeding a threshold number of drops for a time period, decrementing a first rating assigned to the first node to a second rating assigned to the first node. Based at least in part on the second rating being below a rating threshold, determining that the first node is a potentially malicious node. Based at least in part on a first distance to the first node being larger than a distance threshold, identifying that the first node is a malicious node. The method may further include ending communications with the first node.

Abstract: Techniques for distributed sub-controller permission for control of data-traffic flow within software-defined networking (SDN) mesh networks to limit control plane traffic of the network are described herein. A technique described herein includes a network node of a data-traffic path of an SDN mesh network obtaining SDN sub-controller permission from a border controller of the SDN mesh network. Further, the technique includes suppression of data traffic from sibling and children nodes of data-traffic path allied nodes to the data-traffic path allied nodes. The data-traffic path allied nodes include network nodes that are part of the data-traffic path of the SDN mesh network. Further still, the technique includes the transmission of data across the data-traffic path.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a potentially malicious node using a rating assigned to nodes within the network and decrementing the rating based on detected dropped messages to identify a potentially malicious node. The malicious node is identified based on location information obtained from the nodes within the network and comparable distances from the potentially malicious node. The method further includes ending communications with the malicious node and selecting a new parent node based on a presumption that any of the plurality of nodes other than the malicious node are non-malicious.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a technique for load balancing of throughput for multi-PHY networks using decision trees is provided. A first device of a mesh communication network may collect at least one transmission metric indicative of a primary link and a secondary link between the first device and a second device of the mesh communication network. The first device may provide the at least one transmission metric as input to one or more decision trees comprising one or more attributes that are each indicative of a threshold for a corresponding transmission metric. The first device may obtain an output from the decision tree comprising a selection of either the primary link or the secondary link. The first device may send, based on the output from the decision tree, one or more packets to the second device using the selected link.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises determining, by a network device, a hop-by-hop path in a low-power and lossy network having a tree-based topology originated at a root network device, the hop-by-hop path comprising identified network devices for forwarding a data packet from a source network device to a destination device in the tree-based topology; and causing, by the network device, the destination device to initiate generation of a locally-optimized tree that bypasses the root network device and optimizes forwarding of the data packet from the source network device to the destination device, based on confined advertisements within the tree-based topology relative to the identified network devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a mesh network rooted at a root node receives a subroot selection notification. The subroot selection notification indicates that the device should function as a root of a sub-directed acyclic graph (DAG) were a power outage to occur. The device determines that a power outage has occurred. The device forms, after determining that a power outage has occurred, a sub-DAG that is rooted at the device by establishing one or more other devices in the mesh network as routing children of the device in the sub-DAG. The device joins the sub-DAG to a DAG rooted at the root node.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises attaching, by a constrained network device in a data network, to a first parent network device in a tree-based storing mode topology in response to receiving a first advertisement message generated by the first parent network device; outputting to the first parent network device a plurality of routes stored in the constrained network device, the routes identifying destinations reachable via the constrained network device; determining, by the constrained network device, that the first parent network device is encountering saturation of stored routes based on the constrained network device receiving a second advertisement message from the first parent network device; and eliminating, by the constrained network device, the saturation encountered by the first parent network device based on moving at least a portion of the routes from the first parent network device to a second parent network device in the tree-based storing mode topology.
