1. A method for routing to a non-mesh network a first data flow received at a first mesh gateway via a wireless link, the method comprising:

  • determining that an available bandwidth of a backhaul link to the non-mesh network through the first mesh gateway is below a threshold value;

    determining that the first data flow has a higher priority than a second data flow currently routed through the first mesh gateway to the non-mesh network;

    forwarding the second data flow to a second mesh gateway in response to determining that the available bandwidth of the backhaul link is below the threshold value and determining that the first data flow has a higher priority than the second data flow, whereby the second mesh gateway routes the second data flow to the non-mesh network; and

    routing the first data flow to the non-mesh network through the first mesh gateway after forwarding the second data flow to the second mesh gateway.
