From 8828f81ad4a2f4e89ebe6e7793c06ed767c31d53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 13:47:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: probe unexercised mesh links The requirement for mesh link metric refreshing, is that from one mesh point we be able to send some data frames to other mesh points which are not currently selected as a primary traffic path, but which are 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.
