Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of processor-executable instructions executable by a device, wherein the plurality of processor-executable instructions include processor-executable instructions to:
receive performance information broadcasted by a plurality of Mesh Distributed Units (“MDUs”), wherein particular performance information broadcasted by a particular MDU of the plurality of MDUs indicates performance of a route between the particular MDU and a core of a wireless network;
determine additional performance information associated with respective routes between the device and the plurality of MDUs;
select the particular MDU, out of the plurality of MDUs, based on the performance information broadcasted by the plurality of MDUs and further based on the additional performance information associated with the respective routes between the device and the plurality of MDUs;
determine performance metrics associated with a route between the device and a core of a wireless network, wherein the route includes the selected particular MDU;
broadcast the determined performance metrics associated with the route that is between the device and the core of the wireless network and that includes the selected particular MDU, wherein a User Equipment (“UE”) connects to the device based on the broadcasted performance metrics;
receive wireless traffic from the UE;
and wirelessly provide the traffic to the particular MDU, wherein the particular MDU forwards the traffic to the core of the wireless network.
