Abstract
A mesh network of wired and/or wireless nodes is described in which a centralized controller provides seamless end-to-end service from the edge of the mesh network to mesh nodes located proximate to subscriber devices. The controller operates to provide a central configuration point for configuring forwarding planes of the mesh nodes of the mesh network, so as to set up transport data channels to transport traffic from the edge nodes via the mesh nodes to the subscriber devices.
