In ZIGBEE 1.0 and in ‘ZigBee’ stack profile, routing is initially performed deterministically, along the branches of the tree structure. Tree routing means that resulting routes are sometimes indirect and assumes that the network topology is static. As a second step, table routing can be used to shortcut the tree and discover new routes.

In ‘ZigBee Pro’ stack profile, only table routing is allowed. Along a route, each intermediate NODE uses its own routing table to forward the PACKET to the next node, until the packet REACHES its destination. For a PARTICULAR destination, each node stores the next hop information in its routing table.
