    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting packets to a plurality of network devices that cannot be accessed via a single hop. The system includes a source, which issues a multicast message to those network devices in close proximity, and also transmits an encapsulated multicast message to a distribution node. This encapsulated multicast message may be routed using traditional routing protocols. The distribution node then transmits the multicast message to those network devices within close proximity. The distribution node may also have the ability to transmit singlecast messages to those network devices, if necessary, to perform retries.

    Abstract: A system and method for improving network resiliency is disclosed. The system includes a network having a plurality of network devices and at least one controller. The controller is configured to create various scenes based on the inputs received from the network devices. The controller is also configured to provide alternate instructions to the network devices in the event that the controller is non-functional. The network devices utilize these alternate instructions when attempts to connect the controller are unsuccessful. In this way, the network is able to operate in a limited way even in the absence of the controller.
