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.
