In this paper, we propose a QoS multi-tree based routing protocol for wireless mesh environments, named Inter-Mesh Infrastructure Proactive Routing (IMPR). It is a proactive multi-tree routing protocol enabling QoS guarantee for communications from/towards the Internet network through the Mesh Gateway (MG) of the mesh infrastructure. We describe and analyze the simulation results of different scenarios conducted on the network simulator ns-3 to demonstrate the effectiveness of our IMPR routing protocol in forwarding real-time applications with QoS guarantee. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01434852/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01434852/file/417220_1_En_16_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01434852 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01434852 %~ UNIV-BOURGOGNE %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-9674 %~ IFIP-WG6-2 %~ IFIP-WWIC %~ LIB_UB %~ LIB-COMBINRES
