Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un nœud de réseau maillé d'un système de réseau maillé sans fil, et sur un procédé de transmission de données du système. Un procédé de transmission de données à l'aide d'un protocole de transmission à gestion de flux (SCTP) du nœud de réseau maillé comprend les étapes suivantes consistant à : détecter un obstacle d'un chemin principal, pendant qu'un nœud de transmission transmet des données à un nœud de réception par une première interface réseau du chemin principal qui transmet les données ; régler nouvellement le chemin principal par changement de la première interface réseau du chemin principal pour une seconde interface réseau d'un chemin auxiliaire, à partir d'une couche supérieure d'une couche liaison de données, sur la base d'informations d'état de chemin qui sont collectées à partir de la couche liaison de données ; et transmettre les données au nœud de réception par la seconde interface réseau.
