Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol Wireless Mesh Routing
The Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) is designed specifically for wireless mesh networking.
The path decisions of AWPP are based on the link quality and the number of hops.
Ease of deployment, fast convergence, and minimal resource consumption are also key components of AWPP.
The goal of AWPP is to find the best path back to a RAP for each MAP that is part of the bridge group of the
RAP. In order to do this, the MAP actively solicits for neighbor MAPs. During the solicitation, the MAP
learns all of the available neighbors back to a RAP, determines which neighbor offers the best path, and then
synchronizes with that neighbor.
