Wifi mesh node receives its own packet during broadcast
Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2021 3:16 pm
Hi,
I have set up WiFi mesh network without a router and I am able to successfully transmit packets over mesh using broadcast. However, I see that node which broadcasts packets also receives its own packets. I can simply filter it out on my own checking MAC address but I saw in documentation (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... oadcasting) in paragraph 7 that:
Is there something I've missed?
I'd would really appreciate any response

7. When a node receives a broadcast packet with a source address matching its own MAC address, the node will discard the broadcast packet.
