Abstract
Wireless mesh networks are multi-hop networks. Therefore, a mechanism for finding a path between source and destination is needed. Static routing means that the path is set up manually, while dynamic routing requires a routing protocol which sets up routing tables. A router forwards packets to a next hop neighbor, which is chosen upon a routing metric. This process is called routing. Wired networks either uses distance vector or link state routing protocol. With distance-vector protocols each node keeps a vector of its neighbors and their distance. The router periodically broadcasts the distance-vector to its one-hop neighbors. Distance is usually the hop count or weighted hop count. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are two famous distance vector protocols. On other hand link state routing protocols construct a map of the connectivity of the networks, in the form of a graph showing which nodes are connected to which other nodes.
