Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] cfg80211: add support to probe unexercised mesh link
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 11:49:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1552330142-23228-2-git-send-email-rmanohar@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1552330142-23228-1-git-send-email-rmanohar@codeaurora.org>
Adding support to allow mesh HWMP to measure link metrics on unexercised
direct mesh path by sending some data frames to other mesh points which
are not currently selected as a primary traffic path but only 1 hop away.
The absence of the primary path to the chosen node makes it necessary to
apply some form of marking on a chosen packet stream so that the packets
can be properly steered to the selected node for testing, and not by the
regular mesh path lookup.
