Abstract: A method (100), a system and, a computer program product for bulk communication of information to recipients via multiple delivery media are disclosed. The media include facsimile, email, surface mail, SMS messaging, and archiving (and is adapted for new media types in the future). A single interface is used to receive information (106, 108, 110) for distribution including one or more template documents (110) and data (106) specific to each recipient. At least one document based on the received information (106, 108, 110) is transmitted using a specified delivery media (144, 150, 156, 162, 168) for each recipient based on the recipients' delivery preferences (122, 176). Escalating (172, 178) transmission of the document may occur using a different delivery media for any recipients for whom transmission by the specified delivery media fails. The escalating step (172, 178) may depend upon status information (176) from a carrier regarding delivery of the document to each recipient.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention relate to a method and system for managing routing in a wireless network, the method comprising receiving an indication that a route to a first node via a routing node is invalid; and deleting, from routing information, information indicating the route to the first node via the routing node. Other embodiments of the invention relate to a method and system for managing routing in a wireless network, the method comprising receiving a message from a descendant node via a routing node; determining whether routing information indicates a route to the descendant node via the routing node; if the routing information does not indicate the route, adding information to the routing information indicating the route to the descendant node via the routing node; and forwarding the message to a destination node.
