Why we have 20% bonus for active mesh parent?

The correct answer is A. To reduce flapping between parents. The 20% bonus for an active mesh parent is a mechanism designed to add hysteresis to the parent selection process. This bonus stabilizes the mesh network by making the current parent more attractive compared to potential new parents.

ATo reduce flapping between parentsCorrect

The 20% bonus acts as a hysteresis mechanism in wireless mesh networks, preventing mesh nodes from frequently switching between potential parent access points when signal strengths are marginal or fluctuating. This stability reduces network flapping and ensures a more reliable and consistent mesh network performance by prioritizing the established parent.
