[RFC 05/12] mac80211: forward frames on correct mbss-shared interface

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A forwarded frame may have a destination STA which resides
on a vif other than the RX interface. Have
mesh_nexthop_lookup() fill in the right outgoing sdata in
the skb control block.

Also update the congestion detection logic to take into
account a possibly different outgoing interface.
