+/// \class RF22Mesh RF22Mesh.h <RF22Mesh.h>
+/// \brief RF22 subclass for sending addressed, optionally acknowledged datagrams
+/// multi-hop routed across a network, with automatic route discovery
+///
+/// Extends RF22Router to add automatic route discovery within a mesh of adjacent nodes,
+/// and route signalling.
+///
+/// Unlike RF22Router, RF22Mesh can be used in networks where the network topology is fluid, or unknown,
+/// or if nodes can mode around or go in or out of service. When a node wants to send a
+/// message to another node, it will automcatically discover a route to the destaintion node and use it.
+/// If the route becomes unavailable, a new route will be discovered.
+///
+/// \par Route Discovery
+///
+/// When a RF22Mesh mesh node is initialised, it doe not know any routes to any other nodes
+/// (see RF22Router for details on route and the routing table).
+/// When you attempt to send a message with sendtoWait, will first check to see if there is a route to the
+/// destinastion node in the routing tabl;e. If not, it wil initialite 'Route Discovery'.
+/// When a node needs to discover a route to another node, it broadcasts MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage
+/// with a message type of RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST.
+/// Any node that receives such a request checks to see if it is a request for a route to itself
+/// (in which case it makes a unicast reply to the originating node with a
+/// MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage
+/// with a message type of RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE)
+/// otherwise it rebroadcasts the request, after adding itself to the list of nodes visited so
+/// far by the request.
+///
+/// If a node receives a RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST that already has itself
+/// listed in the visited nodes, it knows it has already seen and rebroadcast this request,
+/// and threfore ignores it. This prevents broadcast storms.
+/// When a node receives a RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST it can use the list of
+/// nodes aready visited to deduce routes back towards the originating (requesting node).
+/// This also means that when the destination node of the request is reached, it (and all
+/// the previous nodes the request visited) will have a route back to the originating node.
+/// This means the unicast RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE
+/// reply will be routed successfully back to the original route requester.
+///
+/// The RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE sent back by the destination node contains
+/// the full list of nodes that were visited on the way to the destination.
+/// Therefore, intermediate nodes that route the reply back towards the originating node can use the
+/// node list in the reply to deduce routes to all the nodes between it and the destination node.
+///
+/// Therefore, RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST and
+/// RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE together ensure the original requester and all
+/// the intermediate nodes know how to route to the source and destination nodes and every node along the path.
+///
+/// Note that there is a race condition here that can effect routing on multipath routes. For example,
+/// if the route to the destination can traverse several paths, last reply from the destination
+/// will be the one used.
+///
+/// \par Route Failure
+///
+/// RF22Router (and therefore RF22Mesh) use reliable hop-to-hop delivery of messages using
+/// hop-to-hop acknowledgements, but not end-to-end acknowledgements. When sendtoWait() returns,
+/// you know that the message has been delivered to the next hop, but not if it is (or even if it can be)
+/// delivered to the destination node. If during the course of hop-to-hop routing of a message,
+/// one of the intermediate RF22Mesh nodes finds it cannot deliver to the next hop
+/// (say due to a lost route or no acknwledgement from the next hop), it replies to the
+/// originator with a unicast MeshRouteFailureMessage RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_FAILURE message.
+/// Intermediate nodes (on the way beack to the originator)
+/// and the originating node use this message to delete the route to the destination
+/// node of the original message. This means that if a route to a destination becomes unusable
+/// (either because an intermediate node is off the air, or has moved out of range) a new route
+/// will be established the next time a message is to be sent.
+///
+/// \par Message Format
+///
+/// RF22Mesh uses a number of message formats layered on top of RF22Router:
+/// - MeshApplicationMessage (message type RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_APPLICATION).
+/// Carries an application layer message for the caller of RF22Mesh
+/// - MeshRouteDiscoveryMessage (message types RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_REQUEST
+/// and RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_DISCOVERY_RESPONSE). Carries Route Discovery messages
+/// (broadcast) and replies (unicast).
+/// - MeshRouteFailureMessage (message type RF22_MESH_MESSAGE_TYPE_ROUTE_FAILURE) Informs nodes of
+/// route failures.
+///
+/// Part of the Arduino RF22 library for operating with HopeRF RF22 compatible transceivers
+/// (see http://www.hoperf.com)
