Hi, Javier

Are we allowed mesh STA to not forward and become a selfish node?

*A mesh STA that has dot11MeshForwarding equal to false does not forward
either MSDUs, or MMPDUs of type Multihop Action. The circumstances in which
a mesh STA may be allowed to become a non forwarding entity and the
authority to set dot11MeshForwarding to false are beyond the scope of
this standard.*

*A mesh STA that does not forward is a special case of a mesh STA. Such
mechanism depends on whether the path selection protocol provides a
mechanism to allow mesh STAs not to participate in forwarding. The HWMP
path selection protocol provides such a mechanism, see 11C.9 (Hybrid
wireless mesh protocol (HWMP)).*
