Zigbee Mesh Build Out

I've got my z-wave network working pretty good and its now time to work with Zigbee. I currently have a handful of sensors and plug in modules as repeaters.

I went to the childRoutes link for my hub and got the below. What exactly am I looking at?

Parent child parameters

You have no Zigbee 'End' devices directly connected to your hub (CHILD DATA section)

You have 5 Zigbee Repeater Devices connected (Neighbor Table Entry section). These all look healthy with a LQI at 254 or 255(best).

The Route Table Entry section shows how devices are routed back to your hub, via which repeater devices.

Right now, everything appears pretty healthy to me.

It should be noted that not every Zigbee device will show up on this report.
