In mesh MESH networking, which of the following descriptions about MESH paths is correct? (Multiple choice)

Question

Options

• AThere is only one MESH path
• BA wireless link formed by cascading a series of MESH connections between the source MP and
• CThere may be multiple MESH paths
• DIn the MESH path, the source AP can be MP or MPP

• A
  15% (5)
• B
  85% (29)

Explanation

In IEEE 802.11s MESH networking, a MESH path is a logical route constructed by chaining (cascading) a series of wireless links between intermediate MESH Points (MPs), making B correct - though note the option appears truncated, it describes this multi-hop wireless link structure. C is correct because mesh topology inherently supports multiple redundant paths between any source and destination, which is the core advantage over traditional linear or star topologies. D is correct because the originating node in a MESH path can be either a standard MP (Mesh Point) or an MPP (Mesh Point Portal - a gateway node bridging the mesh to external networks); both are valid source roles.

Option A is wrong because having only one path would defeat the purpose of a mesh network - redundancy and multi-path routing are its defining features.

Memory tip: Think of "MESH" as a net or web - a web always has multiple strands (paths) connecting any two points, and the thread can start at any type of node (MP or MPP). If there were only one path, it would just be a chain, not a mesh.
