Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) play a vital role in next-generation wireless networking, with applications ranging from last-mile wireless internet, transportation systems enterprise, enterprise networks, home networking, and wireless community networks are all examples of wireless community networks.Individual vendors created several proprietary mesh systems, but IEEE organized the IEEE 802.11s task force to design a meshed networking exposition to assure interoperability.In this paper, we evaluate the Quality of service parameters such as throughput, delay, PDR and jitter of mesh protocol.We simulated the HWMP protocol's performance,the present work is an attempt to address the problem related to wireless mesh networks by minimizing the delay and maximizing the throughput of the network.
