[0016] When a source node / mesh point wishes to send a data packet / frame to a certain destination node, it checks the route in its routing table. If there is a valid route, it delivers the packet / frame to the next hop specified in the routing table for this destination node. If no valid route exists, the source node initiates route discovery by flooding a route request (RREQ) message over the wireless mesh / ad hoc network. The data packets / frames may originate in / by the node, or if the node is a wireless access point, the data packets / frames may originate from a station associated with the node. It is possible that a source node needs to discover routes / paths to multiple destination nodes. The source node can either disseminate the RREQ per destination, or, to reduce routing overhead, flood the network with a single RREQ message with a list containing the addresses of multiple destination nodes in it.
[0017] figure 1 is an example RREQ message format, other formats are poss...
