Abstract
Aspects include a method, system and computer product for routing a signal in a mesh network. The method includes identifying a first intermediate node and a second intermediate node disposed between a first node and an access point, the first node being coupled for communication to both the first intermediate node and the second intermediate node. A first set of parameters is determined associated with the first intermediate node. A second set of parameters is determined associated with the second intermediate node. A route is determined for transmitting a signal from the first node to the access point using at least one of the first intermediate node and the second intermediate node, the route being chosen based at least in part on the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters. The signal is transmitted on the route from the first node to the access point.
