A network routing method and system may include initializing the network by determining, for each node of the network, a number of hops to a root node and delaying forwarding to the root node, for each node, a packet received, wherein the delay in forwarding the packet received to the root node from a forwarding node depends upon the number of hops separating the root node from the forwarding node. A network routing method and system may include initializing the network by determining, for each node of the network, a number of hops to a root node, determining, for a forwarding node that receives a packet from a sending node, whether to forward the packet to a root node, determining a delay after which the packet is to be forwarded to the root node and determining a probability of forwarding the packet to the root node.
