METHOD FOR APPLYING TCP/IP PROTOCOL IN MESH NETWORK

摘要

Disclosed is a method for applying a TCP/IP protocol in a mesh network, comprising the following processes: constructing protocol stack models of a root node and an ordinary node in a mesh network; the root node sharing an IP configuration acquired by the root node from a router, a MAC address of the root node, and a MAC address of the router with the ordinary node by using a custom IE in a management frame; the ordinary node adopting a static IP configuration mode to set an IP configuration of the ordinary node to the IP configuration of the root node; the root node acquiring a port range available to each ordinary node; and each node in the mesh network communicating with an external IP network over a TCP/IP protocol stack. In the present invention, when IP datagrams are forwarded in a mesh network, there is no need to perform layer-by-layer NAT, and it is not necessary to recalculate a checksum of the IP datagrams when the IP datagrams reach a root node, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of network communication.
