does the esp idf cares about the protocol chosen in mesh_proto_t? can I pass a value that is not defined in mesh_proto_t? e.g.: mesh_data_t data{ .data = //bytes array .size = //size of data array .proto = 7, .tos = mesh_tos_t::MESH_TOS_P2P };

there is a call to get all the subtree of a mesh: esp_mesh_get_routing_table.
but I want to get all the direct descendants. is there a specialized call for this?

is there a call in esp-idf to get all connected children?
I see there is the call: esp_mesh_get_routing_table, but this returns all the subnet of the node. I'm looking for only the direct descendants

It doesn't explain why it needs to set the whole partition. Assuming the packets size are 4096*x bytes. Why not deleting the region of the current packet received? I can use the OTA_WITH_SEQUENTIAL_WRITES flag but that means I'm assuming all packets received in a incremental order. and not sure that...

Why does esp_ota_begin is erasing the partition before update? why not just overwrite (and only delete the remaining size of the partition when calling esp_ota_end(); esp_ota_begin(update_partition, firmwareSize, &update_handle); the documentation here is not very clear about the behavior, Size of n...
