Sorry, when ever people talk about mesh they most often mean 1 radio meshing. Multiradio relays generally do not benefit from most of the mesh software. OSPF or rSTP works very well and are generally stable and are generally supported and have many tools. I keep everything off the radio I possibly can and use them as bridges with a router behind them. With Mt having $40 units that is even easier and faster then ever.
