This paper evaluates the ability of a wireless mesh architecture to provide high performance Internet access while demanding little deployment planning or operational management. The architecture considered in this paper has unplanned node placement, omni-directional antennas, and multi-hop routing. These design decisions contribute to ease of deployment, an important requirement for community wireless networks. However, this architecture carries the risk that lack of planning might render the network's performance unusably low. The paper evaluates this unplanned mesh architecture with a case study of the Roofnet 802.11b mesh network.
