There are some mesh parameters that you would probably want to be
uniform across the mesh network (timeouts, number of retries, etc).
But the only mesh parameter that would result in a different mesh
network is the mesh_id, and that's only settable when the mesh
interface is created.

Do you have a specific configuration parameter in mind?
