  3. Subject: [PATCH] set mcast_rate in mesh mode
    4. 

  4. 

  5. The wpa_supplicant code for IBSS allows to set the mcast rate. It is
    6. 

  6. recommended to increase this value from 1 or 6 Mbit/s to something higher
    7. 

  7. when using a mesh protocol on top which uses the multicast packet loss as
    8. 

  8. indicator for the link quality.
    9. 

  9. 

  10. This setting was unfortunately not applied for mesh mode. But it would be
    11. 

  11. beneficial when wpa_supplicant would behave similar to IBSS mode and set
    12. 

  12. this argument during mesh join like authsae already does. At least it is
    13. 

  13. helpful for companies/projects which are currently switching to 802.11s
    14. 

  14. (without mesh_fwding and with mesh_ttl set to 1) as replacement for IBSS
    15. 

  15. because newer drivers seem to support 802.11s but not IBSS anymore.
