Hi, Julian

I have captured this directly from the standard. It actually means
that once the mesh STA receives the RANN, it can send the PREQ to the
root mesh STA if the the last PREQ to the root mesh STA was sent
dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationInterval TUs (or more) ago.

"This attribute specifies the minimum interval of time (in TUs) during
which a mesh STA can send only one Action frame containing a PREQ
element for root path confirmation."
