Abstract
A method can include receiving, from communicatively coupled mesh nodes of the mesh distribution network, data indicating whether respective mesh nodes of the mesh nodes are acting as gateways and an amount of traffic being served by the mesh nodes, determining, based on the received data, a first mesh node of the mesh nodes to put into an inactive state, and providing a communication to the first mesh node that causes the first mesh node to enter the inactive state.
