Ss far as I know the HWMP theory says that in case there is more than one node configured as ROOT, a mesh node will receive proactive PREQs with different originator mac addresses. The mesh node then sets the lowest originator mac address as the ROOT. All mesh nodes configured to act as ROOT, upon receiving proactive PREQ with lower originator mac address, stop sending proactive PREQ and set the originator of the proactive PREQ with lower MAC address as the ROOT. So finally there remains a single ROOT node which sends proactive PREQs and has paths to all nodes within the MBSS.
