Why are wireless mesh networks yet to become popular in spite of some very useful characteristics? Explain clearly.
What will be an ideal response?
Wireless mesh network have some very good characteristics such as easy
scalability, simpler to deploy, minimal infrastructure (few IGWs to connect to
internet, etc). But, they are not widely used for many reasons. The basic limitation
is any accepted agreement on revenue sharing mechanism. As a mesh network is
expected to be community based, it implies that different mesh routers to be
owned and operated by different group. But, the traffic needs to be forwarded by
the IGW, the revenue need to be shared to ensure such a cooperative forwarding.
Also, a user may have frequent handoff from one router to another and there has
to be some bottom line agreement on protocols to be used for efficient handoff.
So, besides protocol standard, how to do the billing and share the revenue, are
open questions hindering wider acceptance of mesh networks.
