Pmet 0 to 16382 Cost of Path to Root AP
when the AP uses a
neighbor AP as a parent
AP. A lower value is
preferred.
With an active link, the AP
periodically checks the
threshold. Mesh ACS is
triggered when the value
measures below the
defined threshold,
initiating a new nexthop.
The default threshold is
1500. Use this value to
determine link stability.
