1. A wireless mesh network server operable to:
- receive a message to one or more mesh network nodes from a client external to the mesh network, the message comprising an alias, wherein the alias comprises a network node address in a first network type different from a mesh network type, the alias'"'"'s network node address associated with the one or more mesh network nodes;
identify the one or more receiving mesh network nodes by the received message alias via an alias table, the alias table associating the alias comprising a network node address in the first network type different from the mesh network type with one or more mesh network nodes; and
forward the received message to the one or more mesh network nodes identified by the alias,wherein the server comprises a computerized system, the server operable to aggregate one or more reply messages from the one or more mesh network nodes.

Abstract
A wireless mesh network server is operable to receive a message to one or more mesh network nodes from a client external to the mesh network, the message comprising an alias identifying the one or more mesh network nodes. The server is further operable to identify the one or more receiving mesh network nodes by the received message alias via an alias table, and forward the received message to the one or more mesh network nodes identified by the alias.
