Mesh Networking | 802.11s

The IEEE proposed standard for 802.11 hybrid mesh networks is called 802.11s. Other notable mesh networking options include OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing Protocol) and AODV (Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing). A primary goal of these Wi-Fi mesh networking technologies is allowing the meshing of Wi-Fi devices using the large, existing Wi-Fi infrastructure.
