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.

Abstract
Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for integrating and/or integrating with a communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things).

14. A method of operating a node of a plurality of nodes operable on one or more communication networks of a communication system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a set of configuration information for the plurality of nodes at a particular node of the plurality of nodes via the one or more communication networks; propagating the set of configuration information to available nodes of the plurality of nodes that are neighbors of the particular node, via the one or more communication networks, wherein propagating the set of configuration information comprises; advertising the availability of the set of configuration information from the particular node to one or more neighboring nodes of the particular node, via the one or more communication networks, receiving a request for the set of configuration information from the one or more neighboring nodes, and responsive to the request, sending the set of configuration information from the particular node to the one or more neighboring nodes via the one or more communication networks; and processing configuration parameters for the particular node by applying configuration parameters corresponding to the particular node in the set of configuration information, to configure operation of the particular node with regard to use of the one or more communication networks. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
