[Server-devel] Mesh Network feature XO-XS

[Ricardo Carrano]

Hi Sulochan!

Assuming it is your XO2 fwt_list, it should be populated with paths to  XO1
(via XO1) and XS (via XO1 or XS, depending whether the XS is in reach).
The way it is (empty) this means your XO has no path for any other XO. It is
lonely and sad ;-)
But, please keep in mind that these entries expiry (I don't recall how long
does it take - but it's not long), so you should check them during the test.
Is that the case?
