1. A method comprising:
- calculating, by a network device, a first path distance vector between a first mesh router and a portal in a mesh network, wherein the portal is connected to a wired network server, and wherein the first path distance vector indicates a path from the first mesh router to the portal; and
transmitting, by the network device, a frame to another mesh router, wherein the frame includes the path distance vector.

Abstract
A method and system for radio frequency management (RFM) in a mesh network using a path distance factor (PDF) is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises calculating a path distance factor (PDF) between a first mesh router and a portal. A frame is transmitted to a second mesh router, wherein the frame includes the path distance factor.
