    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for supporting traffic of a wireless mesh network are disclosed. One apparatus includes a node that includes one or more transceivers for communicating with other devices of the wireless mesh network, and a processor. The processor is operative to perform operations including receiving routing packets from at least one upstream node of the wireless mesh network, where reception of the routing packets is facilitated by a first IP version; selecting an upstream routing path to an upstream gateway based on a routing path quality; determining from the routing packets whether a first upstream node directly upstream from the node supports a second IP version; and establishing an IP tunnel with the upstream gateway or a second upstream node of the upstream routing path that supports the second IP version if the first upstream node does not support the second IP version.
