One of the important functions of wireless mesh networks is a multi-hop packet forwarding among fixed wireless routers. The current proposal for the IEEE 802.11s specification (i.e., the standardization effort for WLAN-based mesh networks) focuses on adding such a mesh functionality into wireless LAN devices in the MAC layer (L2). Here, a route discovery process for a destination will be based on its MAC address to find a multi-hop path towards the destination. Clearly, in order to achieve the destination's MAC address before route discovery, ARP request/reply packets will be delivered in a multi-hop fashion. This may cause significant bandwidth consumption due to uncontrolled ARP flooding.
