Unequal Mesh Paths
In both the cases above, MAP5 is the path home for all traffic. Ideally, the coverage from the RAP should
be such that other MAPs, such as MAP2 for example, have a path back to the RAP, and traffic could be
routed via MAP 2 in case of a loss of signal to MAP 5.

Mesh Neighbors, Parents, and Children
There are three relationships mesh APs can have with another:
•
A neighbor within a mesh is an AP that is within RF range but has not been selected as a parent or
a child because its “ease” values are lower than another neighboring AP (refer to
a child because its “ease” values are lower than another neighboring AP (refer to
).
•
A parent AP is one that is selected as the best route back to the RAP based on the best ease values.
A parent can be either the RAP itself or another MAP.
A parent can be either the RAP itself or another MAP.
•
A child AP is one that has selected the parent AP as the best route back to the RAP. The example in
illustrates a small mesh. In this example, MAP:7a:70 parent is RAP:d680 and the
MAP:7a:70 child is MAP:78:90. Map:7a:70 also has a neighbor relation with MAP:d8:90.
Note
A mesh AP can be both a parent other mesh APs and a child of another mesh AP, however a RAP is the
only mesh AP that is not a child of any AP.
