Wireless Mesh Networks are self organizing, self configurable, self-healing wireless networks. Due to complex infrastructure of WMN, to maintain the quality of service is a tedious task. In this paper, a QoS routing scheme has been proposed. This scheme is based on two models named fuzzy inference system model and agent based model. Both models are installed on each and every node on the network. In this proposed work, routing is taken place based on AODV, but here mobile agents perform the task of RREQ, RREP packets. By considering parameters number of hops, bandwidth, and packet loss rate at FIS, an output parameter delay is achieved. At the source node, fuzzy static agent decides whether node on a path satisfies delay requirement (for an application) according to the user by considering fuzzy parameters no. of hops, packet loss rate and bandwidth.
