Comment (by jcardona):

 Test results from with new development firmware (p10):

 {{{
 From meshy1
 # while true; do for i in `seq 1 14`; do ping -i 0.2 -q -c 5 mshy$i; done
 | grep ' 0% packet loss' | wc -l; done
 12 11 13 13 10 9 11 13 14 13
 14 12 14 12 14 13 14 ...
 }}}

 {{{
 From meshy2
 # while true; do for i in `seq 1 14`; do ping -i 0.2 -q -c 5 mshy$i; done
 | grep ' 0% packet loss' | wc -l; done
 10 10 10 13 14 11 14 13 14 13 14 13
 14 13 13 14 13 11 13 12 12 14...
 }}}

 Same test, forcing a forwarding table flush between iterations:
 {{{
 From meshy1
 # while true; do iwpriv msh0 fwt_reset; for i in `seq 1 14`; do ping -i
 0.2 -q -c 5 mshy$i; done | grep ' 0% packet loss' | wc -l; done
 13 13 12 12 14 11 13 13 14 13 14 ...
 }}}

 We'll leave the tests running for a few hours.  If the results do not
 degrade we'll release a new firmware image tomorrow.
