  • in a first node of a mesh network, determining a first route from a source node to a destination node;

    determining a second route from the source node to the destination node;

    comparing the first route to the second route according to a comparison criteria;

    in a second node of the mesh network;

    if the comparing determines that the second route is better than the first route, then conditionally communicating an improved route to a plurality of recipients;

    wherein the improved route is the second route;

    wherein the comparison criteria comprises a count of hops between nodes; and

    wherein the conditionally communicating is conditional based in part on determining a node of divergence between the first route and the second route, and the second node is the node of divergence.
