1. A method comprising:
- a first Internet Protocol (IP) router receiving sensor data within an IP network from at least one of a second IP router or an attached host sensor node, the sensor data distinct from link data of a network link;
the first IP router generating sensor information based on storing the sensor data with metadata describing reception of the sensor data by the first IP router in a routing information base, the routing information base further storing routing information required for the first IP router to establish one or more routes to provide reachability to a destination within the IP network; and
the first IP router synchronizing the routing information base with the routing information base of at least one of the second IP router or a third IP router within the IP network according to an IP routing protocol to maintain reachability within the IP network, the synchronizing of the routing information base including synchronizing the sensor information stored in the routing information base.
