There has been a spate of interest in wireless mesh networks in recent years. The reason behind such an upsurge of interest is that wireless mesh networks are seen as enablers of ubiquitous broadband access applications such as the Internet. Moreover, wireless mesh networks provides benefits such as ease of installation, cost effective deployments, a high level of scalability in coverage area and capacity, network flexibility and self-configuration capabilities. These benefits enable the proliferation of seamless communication in underdeveloped areas such as rural communities. However, despite all these benefits, many research challenges still remain in wireless mesh networks. One such challenge is the support of real time applications such as video streaming.
