It'd be interesting to see how this compares to scatternet that has been part of bluetooth since 1.0.

  I guess the idea here is that it will be self-configuring. So if a central node in the network goes down, the rest of the mesh will reconfigure their connections without human involvement. And thanks for reminding me of the term, i had a feel something like this was already in Bluetooth from the early days.

  The difference is in a scatternet, each move between piconets had to create a new connection (1. master1 -> slave, 2. slave -> master2) The new mesh standard, I believe, is a flood mesh. There is no new connections required because all messages are broadcast on the advertising channels and each node rebroadcasts when it receives it. (with some log of previously rebroadcast messages to avoid infinite loops)
