1. A communication system comprising:

  • a plurality of nodes operable in a communication network, the plurality of nodes comprising;

    a first node operable in a first network and a second network, the first node configured to;

    receive, via the first network, a set of configuration information comprising one or more configuration parameters for corresponding nodes of the plurality of nodes of the communication network,propagate the set of configuration information from the first node to a second node via the second network, wherein to propagate the set of configuration information, the first node is configured to;

    advertise the availability of the set of configuration information from the first node to one or more neighboring nodes of the first node, via the second network;

    receive a request for the set of configuration information from the one or more neighboring nodes, via the second network; and

    responsive to the request, send the set of configuration information from the first node to the one or more neighboring nodes via the second network, andapply, to the first node, those configuration parameters of the set of configuration information corresponding to the first node, to establish operation of the first node according to the configuration parameters corresponding to the first node; and

    a second node operable in at least the second network, the second node configured to;

    receive, from the first node via the second network, the set of configuration information, andapply, to the second node, those configuration parameters of the set of configuration information corresponding to the second node, to establish operation of the second node according to the configuration parameters corresponding to the second node.
