Abstract

A portable information handling system includes a wireless network interface device that establishes communication with a network destination through a mesh network having plural network paths of one or more ad hoc network interfaces. A mesh network manager running on the portable information handling system retrieves network context information from nodes of the plural network paths and applies the network context information to determine energy consumption of the plural network paths. The mesh network manager selects a network path to communicate with the network destination based at least in part on the energy consumption associated with the plural network paths.
