However, if the mesh station later moves into the same MBSS of those mesh stations, it is unreachable by mesh stations in the MBSS due to the mpp_paths table is not deleted. A quick fix is to perform mesh_path_lookup, if it is available for the target destination, mpp_path_lookup is not performed. When the mesh station moves back to its original MBSS, the mesh_paths will be deleted once expired. So, it will be reachable using mpp_path_lookup again.
