Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is one of the emerging wireless technologies of the Next Generation Network. It is projected to overcome the limitations of ad hoc network, wireless local area network, wireless personal area network, and wireless metropolitan area network. It is expected that WMN’s will make seamlessly connected world. Wireless Mesh Networks are completely wireless compare to the existing wireless networks such as, wired or fixed wireless networks. WMN’s follow the mesh networking concept that is, each node shall remain connected to every other nodes. In WIRELESS MESH NETWORK these nodes are known as mesh nodes and mesh access points and both of them are wireless routers and consist of an antenna. The difference is that mesh nodes communicates only with other mesh nodes and mesh access points provides access facilities for any Wi-Fi enabled devices within its boundary. This document presents a complete literature review of Mesh Networking where Wireless Mesh Network technology is highlighted. The document shows the basic discussion about mesh networking and wireless mesh network and its architecture, performance, capacity and security.
