Hi Thomas,
Glad to know that there a possible fix for this issue. Thanks for the effort.
First of all, I have tested with 3 units where they are just a few inches away 
from each other. They ping test is from a particular node to its neighbour 
nodes in which are a single hop away. The ping duplication is still happening 
in this case. Out of 50000+ ping, there are 500+ duplication. Is the patch you 
provided applicable for single hop topology as well?
The duplication is worsen when I added a node which is two hop away from the 
node I run the ping test. The path change in this case is very frequent.
The above test was conducted using a SparkLAN WiFi module (ar 9160). I have 
then change the WiFi module to Winstron (ar9220) and surprisingly the 
duplication is significantly reduced. From 50000+ ping, there are only 20-30 
duplication. Will the duplication caused by hardware that we chose? 
Thanks,Ming Ann
