Background wireless scan causes WDS links to timeout

I have noticed that any dynamic-wds or static-wds links timeout while a background wireless scan is performed on the WDS parent interface.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. On one mesh node, run
/interface wireless scan wlan3 background=yes duration=15s

where wlan3 is the main interface that WDS links are under
2. On another mesh node connected to the first, ping the first node before, during, and after the the scan. While the scan is running, all the pings will timeout.


I’m trying to understand if this is expected or should be considered a bug?
