Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: communicating, by a first node in a wireless deterministic network to a second node in the wireless deterministic network, configuration information identifying a destination-facing path portion of a particular one-way path traversing from a source node to a destination node within the wireless deterministic network, with the destination-facing portion including a path traversing from the second node over one or more additional nodes to the destination node over which to forward packets received over a first portion of the particular one-way path from the source node to the second node, and with said configuration information nation including a particular time slot for the second node to receive packets being sent over the particular one-way path; with the particular one-way path including the source node, the destination node, the first node, the second node, and said one or more additional nodes; and receiving, by the first node from the second node, an acknowledgement message in the particular time slot that the destination-facing portion of the particular one-way path was configured and activated.
