  • Distributed routing table architecture and design
    Patent number: 9270585
    Abstract: A Distributed Routing Table (DRT) mesh can comprise two or more nodes, each of which maintains its own routing table that represents some or all of the overall routing knowledge of the DRT mesh. Each node can be comprised of modular components that can perform various defined functions such that the features and abilities of the node can be customized by an application based on which modular components are instantiated. A routing table management module can maintain individual routing tables at each node, and can ensure that only entries that are close to the node, in a network topology sense, are maintained in the routing table. In addition, a security module can verify received messages based on an agreed-upon root certificate.
