Abstract
According to some embodiments, a system and method for managing dynamic tunneling in in a mesh network is disclosed. The method comprises associating an application that transmits high density data packets with a first of a plurality of nodes in a mesh network. The first of the plurality of nodes functions as an originator station for transmitting the high-density data packets to a second of the plurality of nodes in the mesh network that functions as a target station. An auto-trigger to be initiated by the application in a case that the application requires more bandwidth is created. In response to the auto-trigger being activated, a message is generated across the plurality of nodes to activate a best path through the mesh network where the message indicates a time duration that the application will require more bandwidth.
