Wireless mesh network: An enabling technology

Wireless Mesh Network is the enabling technology and is the right solution for metropolitan area networks; the network has number of attractive qualities like the network has low cost deployment, robustness and has comparatively stable form. The number of research being conducted in the field of wireless mesh design, security, QoS. In this paper we describe the possible architecture for Wireless Mesh Network with its challenges and applications to present day communication. Further we present you with routing methods and security issues related to wireless mesh network. In the later section QoS challenges and pitfalls in WMN is presented.
