user13358: Considering following definition, can we say that bitcoin is a mesh network?


A mesh network uses a network topology in which each node (called a mesh node) relays data for the network. All nodes cooperate in the distribution of data in the network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking



user6803: Bitcoin is meant to be a redundant and cooperative network.  Everyone feeds everyone data.  So in a way, sure.

user2306: It broadcasts blocks and transactions using a logical mesh network, but that shouldn't be confused with physical mesh network proposals.
