Abstract	:	Mesh Wireless Networks provide encouraging approach to provide network connectivity to the users at low cost. Wireless Mesh Networks became an important research area nowadays due to many of its advantages. Wireless Mesh Network uses Hybrid Wireless Mesh Routing Protocol (HWMP) protocol as a default path selection protocol and Air Time Link Metric (ALM) as default metric. HWMP is a MAC layer protocol used to create a path from source to destination. Even though HWMP is a default path selection protocol for 802.11s, many challenges remain unresolved, especially in routing. The results of many researches reveal that Control overhead is the main cause for not achieving scalability in all types of networks. In this paper, we have proposed a localized route repair mechanism named Scalable Local Route Repair-Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (SLRR-HWMP) for Wireless Mesh Network. The proposed routing mechanism shows better performance in terms of throughput and end to end delay, especially in a large network; and hence provides scalability. This paper also shows the comparison of SLRR-HWMP and HWMP in terms of Throughput and end to end delay. Qualnet simulation tool is used for evaluating the proposed mechanism. The results shown by evaluation reveal that proposed routing technique shows better results compared to HWMP protocol.
