Since node 3 is within range of 3 primary nodes (and is not within range of the primary
nodes from the other side of the runway), it will become a reserve node. This is also
applicable to node 10 at the other end of the runway.
Figure 15:
The next nodes to turn on will be independent of the nodes at the other end of
the runway
The next node to turn on (e.g. node 5) will be within range of primary nodes 1, 2 and 4 on
one side of the runway using one network ID (i.e. network 132 as well as node 9 on the
other side using a different network ID (i.e. network 153). Since node 5 is within range of
2 different networks, it will identify the better network to join (the network with the lower
number). In this example, network 132 is lower than network 153 and hence, node 5 will
offer to become a primary node and bridge node 9 with the better network. This will be
the lower network ID (network 132) with the 8th bit cleared which gives rise to network 4.
If node 9 accepts the bridging, node 5 will become a primary node in network 4. It will
broadcast a message to inform the other nodes within range that it is a primary node.
Figure 16: Node 5 will become a primary node in network 4 if node 9 accepts the bridging
