Apparatus having corresponding methods comprise: a mesh path module adapted to select
a mesh path between a first mesh point in a mesh network and a second mesh point in the
mesh network, wherein the mesh path module comprises a neighbor discovery module
adapted to determine whether the second mesh point is one hop from the first mesh point, a
one-hop mesh path module adapted to select a one-hop mesh path between the first mesh
point and the second mesh point when the second mesh point is one hop from the first mesh …

A network interface of a first mesh point device, the network interface including a memory
and a medium access controller. In response to the first mesh point device receiving a frame,
the medium access controller determines whether a mesh path for routing the frame from the
first mesh point device to a second mesh point device is stored in the memory. In response
to a mesh path not being stored in the memory, and prior to performing a mesh path
discovery protocol, the medium access controller (i) determines whether the second mesh …
