Hi, Fabrice

My situation is like that:

Node 2 ---> Node 1 (portal) ---> PC
Node 3 --->

When I bring down Node 2, it will become
Node 3 ---> Node 2 ---> Node 1 (portal) ---> PC

It will restore probably when you bring down Node 1
Node 2 ---> Node 1 (portal) ---> PC
Node 3 --->

I think that similar to what Fabrice faced. Perhaps, we should set
mesh_hwmp_rootmode
to 1 or mesh_gate_announcements to 1. Javier and Thomas perhaps can comment
on this.

Regards,
Chun-Yeow
