1. One or more computer-readable storage devices embodying processor-executable instructions which, responsive to execution by at least one processor, are configured to enable a device in a wireless mesh network to perform operations comprising:

  • receiving a request from a device outside of the wireless mesh network to support an event requiring consumption of bandwidth in the wireless mesh network in a first configuration;

    identifying an impact of the request on the wireless mesh network;

    determining whether the impact of the request to support the event on a particular location in the wireless mesh network is greater than a threshold;

    responsive to determining that the impact of the request to support the event on the particular location is greater than the threshold, determining whether an alternative configuration exists for the particular location that reduces the impact to below the threshold; and

    responsive to determining that using the alternative configuration reduces the impact to below the threshold, using the alternative configuration that exists for the particular location.
