Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a gateway of an integrated roofing mesh network node in communication with a mesh network of other nodes;
wherein the gateway comprises a processor configured to execute software instructions that cause the processor to:
control the gateway to devote a predetermined percentage of bandwidth to a passthrough traffic;
determine the passthrough traffic based at least in part on:
i) an address associated with the gateway, and
ii) a source address and a destination address of each of a plurality of received data packets that is received from the mesh network;
wherein the passthrough traffic comprises a subset of the plurality of received data packets, a plurality of transmitted data packets transmitted to the mesh network, or any combination thereof, that are routed between two or more of the other nodes of the mesh network through the gateway of the integrated roofing mesh network node based at least in part on the source address and the destination address of each data packet;

determine at least one metric based at least in part on a passthrough data capacity based on a payload of data of each data packet in the subset; and
communicate the at least one metric to a service provider to notify the service provider of an amount of mesh network bandwidth provided by the passthrough data capacity of the integrated roofing mesh network node.
