Application Level Routing in a Mesh Router?

faisaladeem asks: "Are there such mesh routers that can re-route the traffic based on QoS? (I'm not talking about traffic shaping) For example, if data rate of a video stream decreases due to an increase in congestion along the path then the router will re-route the stream dynamically to a different path to ensure the QoS for the video traffic. Since a mesh network has many paths or routes, it can be assumed that a less congestive path can be found if the existing path becomes bandwidth constrained. I heard that MPLS supports this kind of functionality? Secondly, can a router estimate the latency/bandwidth on a specific route ?"
