The columns, from left to right, are:

== Destination MAC Address ==

The destination for this Mesh Path. Direct paths have the same MAC address for the destination and next-hop.

== Next-hop MAC address ==

The next hop on the way to the destination.  Direct paths have the same MAC address for the destination and next-hop.

== Device Name ==

Network device (ex: "mesh").

== DSN ==

The Destination Sequence Number for this path.  The DSN is used to determine the 'freshnesss' of a node's path information.  For example, suppose a node receives a path response for a destination that is already in its path table.  If the path response has a higher DSN, it will replace the existing path because it will be considered fresher.

== Air Time Link Metric ==

A metric (or "cost") of taking the path.  Lower metrics are preferred and, given the choice of multiple paths, the stack will chose the least expensive (ie: the one with the lowest Air Time Link Metric).

== Frame Queue Length ==

Number of queued frames for this Mesh Path.

== Expiration Time ==

Time when this Mesh Path will expire, in jiffies.

== Discovery Timeout ==

Time remaining for path discovery (if this path is being discovered).

== Discovery Retries ==

Number of times discovery has been retried (if this path is being discovered).

== Flags ==

This is a bitmask consisting of the following state flags for this path:
{{{
        MESH_PATH_ACTIVE =      BIT(0),
        MESH_PATH_RESOLVING =   BIT(1), 
        MESH_PATH_DSN_VALID =   BIT(2), 
        MESH_PATH_FIXED =       BIT(3),
        MESH_PATH_RESOLVED =    BIT(4),
