AODV makes it to RFC status. This is currently used in one of the functioning Wi-Fi mesh systems, MeshAP. It seems to be the most popular mesh protocol but it doesn't scale above a few hundred nodes I think.

The Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is intended for use by mobile nodes in an ad hoc network. It offers quick adaptation to dynamic link conditions, low processing and memory overhead, low network utilization, and determines unicast routes to destinations within the ad hoc network. It uses destination sequence numbers to ensure loop freedom at all times (even in the face of anomalous delivery of routing control messages), avoiding problems (such as "counting to infinity") associated with classical distance vector protocols.

This document is a product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group
of the IETF.
