Routing in a mesh network involves the process of determining the optimal paths for data packets to travel between nodes. Each node in a mesh network can act as both a router and a host, allowing for multiple pathways for data transmission, which enhances redundancy and reliability. Protocols such as AODV (Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) and OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) are commonly used to facilitate efficient routing by adapting to network changes dynamically. This decentralized approach enables improved performance, as data can be rerouted in real-time if a node fails or if network conditions change.
The primary network topology protocol used for mesh networks is the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. AODV enables dynamic routing by establishing routes between nodes only when needed, which is particularly effective in mesh networks where nodes frequently join and leave the network. Other protocols like Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) and Mesh Routing Protocol (MRP) are also used, depending on the specific requirements and configurations of the mesh network.
A wireless mesh network is a type of ad hoc network. The difference would be that clients on mesh networks are dedicated to the role of routing by relying on an infrastructure of sorts, while ad hoc clients are generally user to user and not fixed to any kind of infrastructure.

When routing tables adapt to network changes the routing system is called adaptive.
In a mesh networking, every node of the network is connected with all other nodes of the network. It is normally used for high redundancy of the network.

The routing protocol also specifies how routers in a network share information with each other and report changes. The routing protocol enables a network to make dynamic adjustments to its conditions, so routing decisions do not have to be predetermined and static.
