Mesh nodes ping problem

[A. Banaiyan]

	Hi, 

	I have created a mesh network by three nodes. The first and second
node can ping each other but the third node can not ping other nodes. 
 By ruuning the " iw dev mesh station dump" command on it, output is
as follows: 

	Station 00:17:9a:75:ee:5d (on mesh)
         inactive time:  5758 ms
         rx bytes:       331488
         tx bytes:       19789
         signal:         -19 dBm
         tx bitrate:     1.0 MBit/s
         mesh llid:      31706
         mesh plid:      24848
         mesh plink:     HOLDING

         inactive time:  368 ms
         rx bytes:       359222
         tx bytes:       906359
         signal:         -42 dBm
         tx bitrate:     1.0 MBit/s
         mesh llid:      42375
         mesh plid:      0
         mesh plink:     OPN_SNT 

	or: 

	Station 00:17:9a:75:ee:5d (on mesh)
         inactive time:  3259 ms
         rx bytes:       368124

         mesh llid:      31706
         mesh plid:      24848
         mesh plink:     HOLDING
 Station 00:17:9a:75:e0:3d (on mesh)
         inactive time:  565 ms
         rx bytes:       393106
         tx bytes:       991558
         signal:         -43 dBm
         tx bitrate:     1.0 MBit/s
         mesh llid:      0
         mesh plid:      0
         mesh plink:     LISTEN 

	or: 
 Station 00:17:9a:75:ee:5d (on mesh)
         inactive time:  3611 ms
         rx bytes:       367952
         tx bytes:       19789
         signal:         -19 dBm
         tx bitrate:     1.0 MBit/s
         mesh llid:      31706
         mesh plid:      24848
         mesh plink:     HOLDING
 Station 00:17:9a:75:e0:3d (on mesh)
         inactive time:  186 ms
         rx bytes:       392762
         tx bytes:       990481
         signal:         -43 dBm
         tx bitrate:     1.0 MBit/s
         mesh llid:      29905
         mesh plid:      0
         mesh plink:     HOLDING
	Also, the response of running " iw dev mesh station dump" command on
first node is: 

	Station 00:17:9a:75:eb:eb (on mesh)
  inactive time: 476 ms
  rx bytes: 2374474
  tx bytes: 14631
  signal:   -38 dBm
  tx bitrate:   1.0 MBit/s
  mesh llid: 14632
  mesh plid: 58842
  mesh plink:   OPN_RCVD
 Station 00:17:9a:75:ee:5d (on mesh)
  inactive time: 38 ms
  rx bytes: 445762
  tx bytes: 20585
  signal:   -42 dBm
  tx bitrate:   1.0 MBit/s
  mesh llid: 46647
  mesh plid: 7523
  mesh plink:   ESTAB
	and for second node is:  

	Station 00:17:9a:75:eb:eb (on mesh)
         inactive time:  125 ms
         rx bytes:       1069916
         tx bytes:       40023
         signal:         -20 dBm
         tx bitrate:     1.0 MBit/s
         mesh llid:      62761
         mesh plid:      16162
         mesh plink:     OPN_RCVD
 Station 00:17:9a:75:e0:3d (on mesh)
         inactive time:  597 ms
         rx bytes:       542636
         tx bytes:       15153
         signal:         -50 dBm
         tx bitrate:     1.0 MBit/s
         mesh llid:      7523
         mesh plid:      46647
         mesh plink:     ESTAB
 But status of 'mesh plink' for other nodes is not constatn on each
run of command and randomly has one of the belove values: 

	HOLDING, OPN_SNT, LIISTEN 

	I want to know about the meaning of such status values and also
ESTAB and OPEN_RCVD values.
 When and in what condition each node has each one of such status ? 
 and how can we set them in a fully connected state which each node
can ping all of other mesh nodes?
 I think when the 'mesh plink' status of two nodes are 'ESTAB' thay
can ping each other.
	Thanks,
 Abbas Banaiyan
