Abstract

A method includes determining characteristics of nodes of a mesh network and selecting one or more nodes of the mesh to receive a payload in view of the characteristics of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network. The method further includes pushing the payload to the one or more selected nodes of the mesh network, wherein the one or more nodes propagate the payload to remaining nodes of the mesh network.

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

determining characteristics of a plurality of nodes of a mesh network;

selecting, by a processing device, one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes to receive a payload in view of the characteristics of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network;

pushing, to the one or more selected nodes, a timing instruction for the one or more selected nodes to propagate the payload, wherein the timing instruction indicates whether the payload is propagated all at once; and

pushing, by the processing device, the payload to the one or more selected nodes of the mesh network, wherein the one or more nodes propagate the payload to a plurality of remaining nodes of the mesh network according to the timing instruction.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

pushing, to the one or more selected nodes, instructions to propagate the payload to respective neighboring nodes of the one or more selected nodes.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristics comprise at least one of processing capacity, available memory, or available storage.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristics comprise:

networking capabilities of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristics comprise:

a relative geographic location of each of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network with respect to each of the other nodes of the mesh network.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more nodes are selected further in view of characteristics of neighboring nodes of each of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the characteristics of the neighboring nodes comprise:

networking capabilities of the neighboring nodes or a classification of the neighboring nodes.

8. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:

determine characteristics of a plurality of nodes of a mesh network;

select one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes to receive a payload in view of the characteristics of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network;

push, to the one or more selected nodes, a timing instruction for the one or more selected nodes to propagate the payload, wherein the timing instruction indicates whether the payload is propagated all at once; and

push the payload to the one or more selected nodes of the mesh network, wherein the one or more nodes propagate the payload to a plurality of remaining nodes of the mesh network according to the timing instruction.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further to:

push, to the one or more selected nodes, instructions to propagate the payload to respective neighboring nodes of the one or more selected nodes.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the characteristics comprise at least one of processing capacity, available memory, or available storage.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the characteristics comprise:

networking capabilities of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the characteristics comprise:

a relative geographic location of each of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network with respect to each of the other nodes of the mesh network.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more nodes are selected further in view of characteristics of neighboring nodes of each of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the characteristics of the neighboring nodes comprise:

networking capabilities of the neighboring nodes or a classification of the neighboring nodes.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

determine characteristics of a plurality of nodes of a mesh network;

select, by the processing device, one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes to receive a payload in view of the characteristics of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network;

push, to the one or more selected nodes, a timing instruction for the one or more selected nodes to propagate the payload, wherein the timing instruction indicates whether the payload is propagated all at once; and

push, by the processing device, the payload to the one or more selected nodes of the mesh network, wherein the one or more nodes propagate the payload to a plurality of remaining nodes of the mesh network according to the timing instruction.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to:

push, to the one or more selected nodes, instructions to propagate the payload to respective neighboring nodes of the one or more selected nodes.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the characteristics comprise at least one of processing capacity, available memory, or available storage.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the characteristics comprise:

networking capabilities of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the characteristics comprise:

a relative geographic location of each of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network with respect to each of the other nodes of the mesh network.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more nodes are selected further in view of characteristics of neighboring nodes of each of the plurality of nodes of the mesh network.
