 *
 * The mesh module sends packets using multi-hop routing to a specified
 * receiver somewhere in the network.
 *
 *
 * \section channels Channels
 *
 * The mesh module uses 3 channel; one for the multi-hop forwarding
 * (\ref rimemultihop "multihop") and two for the route disovery (\ref
 * routediscovery "route-discovery").
