Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for efficient communication through a fabric network of devices in a home environment or similar environment. For example, an electronic device may efficiently control communication to balance power and reliability concerns, may efficiently communicate messages to certain preferred networks by analyzing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet headers that use an Extended Unique Local Address (EULA), may efficiently communicate software updates and status reports throughout a fabric network, and/or may easily and efficiently join a fabric network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions configured to be executed by a first electronic device when communicably coupled to other electronic devices of a fabric of devices in a home environment, the instructions comprising instructions to: receive an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) message at the first electronic device from a second electronic device over a first network of the fabric of devices, wherein the message is…
