Abstract:
A method for enhanced mesh networking, preferably including performing network analysis, configuring router link parameters, and managing routing paths. A metric for routing path assessment, preferably including a throughput metric and a channel utilization metric. A Segment Table Announced Mesh Protocol, preferably including determining network segments and designating forwarding devices for communication between the network segments.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for network device communication, the method comprising:\n in a network comprising a wireless mesh segment and an Ethernet segment, designating a first node as a forwarding device for communication between the wireless segment and the Ethernet segment, wherein:\n the wireless mesh segment comprises a plurality of wireless devices connected by wireless links, the plurality of wireless devices comprising the first node and a second node; and \n the Ethernet segment comprises a plurality of Ethernet devices connected by Ethernet, the plurality of Ethernet devices comprising the first node and the second node; \n based on designating the first node as the forwarding device, determining a plurality of paths from a first device of the network to a second device of the network, each path of the plurality of paths comprising the first node; determining, for each path of the plurality of paths, a respective path cost of the path based on a throughput metric; based on the path costs, selecting a selected path from the plurality of paths for communication from the first device to the second device, wherein the selected path has a lowest path cost of the plurality of paths; and based on selecting the selected path, transmitting a communication from the first device to the second device via the selected path.
