A wireless mesh network is a network topology in which each peer transmits its own data as well as serves as a relay for other peers in the network. Unlike the standard star topology, where all peers are connected to the AP and all the data between the peers is transmitted via a single point, in mesh topology the data between source and destination has a dynamic route. Each peer periodically finds the best route to each destination in the network. That way, there is no one bottleneck in the network and if a certain peer is dropped, the network has the ability for self-healing. The mesh network also has the capability to inter-operate with other networks as described below.
