Subject: [PATCH] set mcast_rate in mesh mode
|
|
|
|
The wpa_supplicant code for IBSS allows to set the mcast rate. It is
|
|
recommended to increase this value from 1 or 6 Mbit/s to something higher
|
|
when using a mesh protocol on top which uses the multicast packet loss as
|
|
indicator for the link quality.
|
|
|
|
This setting was unfortunately not applied for mesh mode. But it would be
|
|
beneficial when wpa_supplicant would behave similar to IBSS mode and set
|
|
this argument during mesh join like authsae already does. At least it is
|
|
helpful for companies/projects which are currently switching to 802.11s
|
|
(without mesh_fwding and with mesh_ttl set to 1) as replacement for IBSS
|
|
because newer drivers seem to support 802.11s but not IBSS anymore.
