Abstract: An embodiment method implemented by an agent device comprises receiving, by the agent device, from a device, a bootstrap request message over a first communication channel; transmitting, by the agent device, to a coordinating device, a request message comprising the bootstrap request message and a first channel type indicator indicating a channel type of the first communication channel; receiving, by the agent device, from the coordinating device, a response message comprising a bootstrap response message and a second channel type indicator indicating the channel type of the first communication channel; and transmitting, by the agent device, to a device, the bootstrap response message over a second communication channel in accordance with the second channel type indicator.

Abstract: An embodiment is a method including receiving, by a first device via a mesh communication network, a first broadcast message over a first communication channel, the first broadcast message having a first hop count, receiving, by the first device via the mesh communication network, a second broadcast message over the first communication channel, and determining, by the first device, whether the second broadcast message is a consistent broadcast message as the first broadcast message, the determining including determining, by the first device, whether the first broadcast message has a same originator address as the second broadcast message, and determining, by the first device, whether the second hop count is larger than the first hop count.

Abstract: A communication network comprises a plurality of electronic devices coupled via a plurality of communication links. The communication links comprise links over a first physical medium and links over a second physical medium. A method of operating the network comprises issuing, at an originator device, a path request message directed towards a destination device, transmitting the path request message from the originator device to the destination device through a first set of intermediate devices via a forward sequence of links, issuing, at the destination device, a path reply message directed towards the originator device, and transmitting the path reply message from the destination device to the originator device through a second set of intermediate devices via a reverse sequence of links.
