As of now, the largest mesh network is often considered to be the “Guifi.net” in Spain, which is a community-driven initiative that connects thousands of individuals and organizations through a decentralized wireless network. Established in 2009, it has grown to include over 35,000 nodes, providing internet access to rural and underserved areas. This network exemplifies the potential of mesh technology to foster connectivity and bridge the digital divide.
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 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.

Where n = number of nodes The number of connections in a full mesh = n(n - 1) / 2
A wireless mesh network really doesn't make sense; the mesh topology assumes that every node in the network has a connection to every other node, and is primarily used for fault tolerance.With wireless technology there is no concept of a "connection", therefore having a mesh topology with a wireless network would be very difficult.Wi-Fi is a wireless technology.
