Claim Text:
1. A method of transmitting data in a hybrid mesh network, the method comprising: dividing, using a source node, data blocks into a first set of data blocks and a second set of data blocks based on identifiers, wherein the data blocks are tagged with the identifiers, wherein the first set of data blocks is associated with identifiers that are non-consecutive; selecting, using the source node, a potential relay node associated with an overlay network, wherein the overlay network is associated with the hybrid mesh network, wherein the potential relay node provides a first path between the source node and a destination node, wherein the first path is distinct from a second path, wherein the potential relay node is not included in the first path; transmitting, using the source node, the first set of data blocks to the destination node using the first path; transmitting, using the source node, the second set of data blocks to the destination node using the second path; merging, using the destination node, the first set of data blocks and the second set of data blocks sequentially based on the identifiers; generating, using the source node, a third set of data blocks, the third set of data blocks being a duplicate of the first set of data blocks; transmitting, using the source node, the third set of data blocks to the destination node; and deleting, using the destination node, a dropped data block from the third set of data blocks, wherein the dropped data block is duplicated in the first set of data blocks; and merging, using the destination node, the first set of data blocks with the third set of data blocks.
