1. A method to route a data packet to a destination in a network, the method comprising:
- determining multiplicity values for a set of neighbor nodes, a multiplicity value representing a number of times the data packet has been routed to a respective neighbor node in the set of neighbor nodes; and
selecting, based on the multiplicity values, a first neighbor node from the set of neighbor nodes to which to send the data packet to route the data packet to the destination.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to determine an alternate route in a network are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein to route a data packet to a destination in a network comprises determining multiplicity values for a set of neighbor nodes, a multiplicity value representing a number of times the data packet has been routed to a respective neighbor node in the set of neighbor nodes, and selecting, based on the multiplicity values, a first neighbor node from the set of neighbor nodes to which to send the data packet to route the data packet to the destination.

8. A tangible article of manufacture storing machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
determine multiplicity values for a set of neighbor nodes, a multiplicity value representing a number of times a data packet has been routed to a respective neighbor node in the set of neighbor nodes; and select, based on the multiplicity values, a first neighbor node from the set of neighbor nodes to which to send the data packet to route the data packet to a destination. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus to route a data packet to a destination in a network, the apparatus comprising:
-
a multiplicity determiner to determine multiplicity values for a set of neighbor nodes, a multiplicity value representing a number of times the data packet has been routed to a respective neighbor node in the set of neighbor nodes; and a neighbor selector to select, based on the multiplicity values determined by the multiplicity determiner, a first neighbor node from the set of neighbor nodes to which to send the data packet to route the data packet to a destination. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
