Abstract
A system includes nodes and a path selection mechanism. The nodes are interconnected with one another as a mesh network. At least one of the nodes is connected to at least another of the nodes by different transport technologies. The path selection mechanism, in at least one of the nodes, determines an optimal path through the mesh network to transmit data from an originating node to a recipient node.
