<strong>Zigbee</strong> Network Reliability<br />

<strong>Zigbee</strong> employs a range of techniques for reliable communication<br />

Channel Selection: On initialization, channels with least activity are<br />

selected<br />

CSMA-CA (Listen Before Sending): Before transmitting, node listens to<br />

the channel to check if it is clear<br />

Data coding: Applies a coding mechanism ensuring higher probability<br />

of successful transmission even in case of simultaneous transfer<br />

Acknowledgements: Receiving device acknowledges the successful<br />

receipt of a message; retransmission if ack is not received in time<br />

Route discovery: In mesh network, possibility of finding an alternate<br />

route if the default route is down<br />

Several mechanisms to ensure security:<br />

Access control lists: Only pre-defined nodes can join the network<br />

128-bit AES based Encryption<br />

Message freshness timers: Timed-out messages are rejected,<br />

preventing message replay attacks<br />

Can you give an example of replay attack?
