- Mesh Network: A mesh network is a peer-to-peer network where there are multiple links between each Mesh Node.
- Mesh Node: Think of a mesh network as a graph. A mesh node is one 'vertex' on that graph. It's the combination of radios and single-board-computers you keep in your home in order to participate in your neighborhood network.
- Mesh Radio Each mesh node uses one or more mesh radios to communicate with other mesh nodes. For simplicity, the radio will sometimes be omitted from diagrams despite being a separate piece of hardware. The job of the mesh radio is to relay traffic between the ethernet plug on the mesh node and a meshing wifi signal.

- Peer-to-Peer: Peer-to-peer computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes.
