1. A method for updating nodes in a mesh network with routing information, comprising:
- obtaining one or more metrics related to one or more adjacent links in the mesh network;
defining parameters that include weighting the one or more metrics to be used for routing that considers QoS in the mesh network; and
propagating routing information related to the parameterized metrics to one or more adjacent nodes in the mesh network.

Abstract
A wireless device for routing data in a mesh network is provided. The wireless device includes a component operable to obtain metrics related to one or more directly adjacent links in the mesh network and metrics received from one or more other nodes in the mesh network. The component is operable to apply parameters that include weighting to one or more of the metrics to compute one or more routes for routing data. The wireless devices also includes a transmitter that is operable to propagate to one or more adjacent nodes in the mesh network routing information related to the parameterized metrics obtained by the component.
