Define the mesh messaging protocol #5

Closed manishmeganathan closed 3 years ago

manishmeganathan commented 3 years ago

Define a set of command protocols for mesh nodes to request data and trigger RPC calls on other nodes and even the control node.
Define an expanded set of commands for data communication between the CN and the Controller.
The functionality expected in this issue can only be achieved if #4 is achieved first.
Document this set of command protocols

Define the mesh messaging protocol in two layers.

An intermesh comm. protocol (IMC).
An intercontrol comm. protocol (ICC).

The IMC protocol would have to be distributed but centrally managed. Only the control node can send ' meshcommands' and sensor nodes may respond to 'meshcommands' with other types of messages. The ICC protocol would have to be symmetric, i.e commands can be sent by either the control node or the controller. Implement it for one side first.
