2.7 NETWORKS

Many networks use a star topology, where all nodes can send data directly to
the supervisor. Other networks use a mesh topology, in which nodes will relay
data from any node that might be blocked, or out of range from the supervisor.
GeoNet networks are self-healing. This means that GeoNet will switch to a
mesh topology so that nodes will automatically relay data from troubled nodes
to the supervisor, if needed.
GeoNet networks are self-configuring, meaning that the switch from a star
topology to a mesh topology is automatic, and the nodes will determine for
themselves which will relay data to the supervisor.
