Currently, the technology of wireless mesh networks is actively developing. In 2021, Gartner included mesh network technologies and the tasks to ensure their security in the TOP global trends. A large number of scientific works focus on the research and modeling the traffic transmission in such networks. At the same time, they often bring up the “bottle neck” problem, characteristic of individual mesh network nodes. To address the issue, the authors of the article propose using the data caching mechanism and placing the cache data straight on the routers. The mathematical model presented in the article allows building a route with the highest access speed to the requested content by the modified Dijkstra algorithm. Besides, if the mesh network cache lacks the required content, the routers with the Internet access are applied. Practically, the considered method of creating routes to the content, which has already been requested by the users in the mesh network, allows for the optimal efficient use of the router bandwidth capacity distribution and reduces the latency period.
