A '''Mesh Network''' is a [[Network topology|networking topology]] which utilizes non-hierarchical connections to between a series of nodes, to deliver messages through indirect paths. This network topology facilitates communication between two points which do not have a direct connection which one another. Each device (node) in a mesh network, will send out its own messages, while also relaying messages sent by others, not intended for itself. In this manner, a message sent by one device may "hop" through several other devices in undefined ways, before reaching its destination. While this does cause many unneeded re-sends (amounting to useless noise), it enables communication through paths which would otherwise be impossible.<ref>https://www.spiceworks.com/tech/networking/articles/what-is-mesh-network/</ref><ref>https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-networks/what-is-mesh-network/</ref><ref>https://www.serverwatch.com/networking/mesh-networking/</ref>
