First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- responding to a request for local information, the request being sent by a remote node in an ad hoc home mesh network, the local information being associated with a local route table;
querying a first node listed in the local route table for node information of the first node; and
expanding querying to a second node in the ad hoc home mesh network using the node information, the second node being a neighbor of the first node.

Abstract
An embodiment is a technique to collect network and device information. A request for local information is responded to. The request is sent by a remote node in an ad hoc home mesh network. A first node listed in a local route table is queried for node information of the first node. Querying is expanded to a second node in the ad hoc home mesh network using the node information. The second node is a neighbor of the first node.
