Comment(by carrano):

 Replying to [comment:1 bemasc]:
 > In 802.11s, there are mesh nodes, mesh portals (MPP), and also mesh
 access points (MAP).  A mesh access point is the inverse of a mesh portal.
 It provides non-mesh wireless devices (like normal laptops) with an access
 point into the mesh, and potentially an internet connection, if the mesh
 also has a mesh portal.

 should see how much more work they would require.

 I believe MAPs would need RA-OLSR (or similar) and a whole bunch of new
 frame formats to be implemented.

 Anyway, I am not sure this feature belongs to this ticket...
