According to ieee80211s specification,
this bit should(only) be set when tbtt
adjustment procedure(as part of tbtt
selection/mbca) is ongoing.
So why does mac80211 set it as part of
Offset syncronization, ie , what is
advantage the when a mesh node announces
that "my tbtt will be delayed" to it's
peers?
I guess it's to prevent mesh peers from running TBTT adjustment?
Setting TBTT adjustment bit is good idea although the standard is
addressing TBTT adjustment bit during MBCA/TBTT selection procedure,
since the key idea of setting the bit is to run TBTT adjustment by only
one mesh point at a time IMO.
