Abstract

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are characterized by mesh routers connected by wireless links to each other and to a few gateway nodes. The most significant application of such networks is to provide broadband Internet access to static or mobile hosts in areas where wired infrastructure is difficult or economically infeasible to deploy. Since most WMN traffic flows through a few gateway nodes, this can cause significant congestion around the gateway.
