Abstract:
In some embodiments, a global tree structure identifying rendezvous points between a layer 1 network area and a layer 2 network area may be created. When the rendezvous point receives a data packet associated with a destination for the layer 1 network area from the layer to network area, it may forward the data packet to the destination. Non-rendezvous point devices may discard copies of the data packet.
