Subject: [manet] Difference between Wireless Mesh Router and Multi-Radio Access Point

Hi everybody,
I've seen many wireless mesh network architectures. Some use wireless mesh
router to connect end-user terminals while others use multi radio Access
Points (AP) for the same purpose. The difference between the two approaches
is quite ambiguous. In case of AP, do they use some kind of layer-2 routing
between APs for relaying packets? Do such APs support routing ? Can these
APs be configured like a router and filter packets based on some policies or
access lists ?
Please clear my doubts.
Thanks.
Faisal.
