Abstract: Propagation of software updates in a wireless mesh network is handled according to an “informed push” model. Nodes are given the software update that they need, but this is done in response to a sequence of propagating reports on the need for the upgrade (i.e., that node devices have old versions). Each node device executes a reporting cycle in which a report is sent to its neighbors that indicates the types and versions of software items that reside on the device; and for non-resident software items, the lowest versions of which the node device received knowledge from its neighbors. If a node device determines that its reporting neighbor has an old version of a software item and the node device contains a newer version of that software type residing locally, then it sends its neighbor the upgrade. Otherwise, the node “gossips” about the old version to its own neighbors.

Abstract translation: 无线网状网络中软件更新的传播是根据“知情的推送”模式来处理的。 节点被给予他们所需要的软件更新，但这是为了响应关于需要升级的传播报告的顺序而完成的（即，该节点设备具有旧版本）。 每个节点设备执行报告周期，其中向邻居发送指示驻留在设备上的软件项的类型和版本的报告; 并且对于非常驻软件项目，节点设备从其邻居接收知识的最低版本。 如果节点设备确定其报告邻居具有旧版本的软件项，并且节点设备包含本地驻留的该软件类型的较新版本，则向邻居发送升级。 否则，节点“闲话”关于旧版本到自己的邻居。
