1. A node, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a first packet from a first node at a first time and a second packet from a second node at a second time;
a processor for determining the first time and the second time and for comparing the first time with the second time to produce a ratio of workloads of the first node and the second node; and
a transmitter for transmitting packets to the first and the second nodes based on the ratio of workloads.

Abstract
A node includes a receiver for receiving a first packet from a first node at a first time and a second packet from a second node at a second time, a processor for determining the first time and the second time and for comparing the first time with the second time to produce a ratio of workloads of the first node and the second node, and a transmitter for transmitting packets to the first and the second nodes based on the ratio.

13. A method for routing packets by a node in a low-power and lossy network, comprising:
-
determining a first node having a workload less than a workload of a second node based on packets received from the first and the second nodes; and generating a command to transmit a set of data packets to the first and the second nodes, such that more packets from the set are transmitted to the first node than to the second node, wherein steps of the method are performed by a processor of the node. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A node, comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving route discovery packets from neighboring nodes; a processor for comparing workloads of the neighboring nodes in response to the receiving to produce a ratio of workloads; and a transmitter for transmitting data packets to the neighboring nodes according to the ratio. - View Dependent Claims (19)
