The mesh ID works as the SSID for mesh networks, on mesh beacons/probes SSID is set to the wildcard value to avoid interfering with non-mesh STAs. An MP only opens a peer link with a neighboring mesh peer if you have the same mesh configuration. This mesh configuration is composed by the mesh ID and path discovery protocol/metric/congestion control IDs. Once the link is open the mesh ID is not included in the frames. Let me know if you want more info. It might be a good idea as you suggest in another thread to refuse to change the mesh id for running interfaces as it would make a lot of information stale, will consider it. -- Luis Carlos Cobo Rus GnuPG ID: 44019B60 cozybit Inc. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
