  • an access point and at least one subscriber device;

    the access point being configured to respond to receipt of a first route request message including a first route request identifier value by sending to a source of the first route request message a first route response message including bi-directional route metrics from the first route request message, and the access point is adapted to respond to a second route request message including the first route request identifier value by sending a second route response message including bi-directional route metrics from the subsequent route request message if the route metrics from the second route request message are better than the route metrics from the first route request message; and

    the subscriber device being configured to send along a first route to the access point the first route request message including the first route request identifier value, and the subscriber device is also configured to send the second route request message along a second route to the access point, the second route request including the route request identifier value that is the same as that included in the first route request.
