Mesh network is vulnerable to privacy attacks because of the open medium property of wireless channel, the fixed topology, and the limited network size. Traditional anonymous routing algorithm cannot be directly applied to Mesh network, because they do not defend global attackers. In this paper we design private routing algorithm that used "Onion", i.e., layered encryption, to hide routing information. In addition, we explore special ring topology that fits the investigated network scenario, to
