This list contains both 802.11 devices that are part of the same SSID as the
RLXIB itself (for example, "Minerals") as well as devices that belong to different
SSIDs (for example, "Network1" and "ProSoftInternal"). This list is updated
continuously and can be used for many purposes.
The IH radio updates this list with each 802.11 packet that is received, whether
from a radio of the same network or one that belongs to another SSID. It can also
see radios from other vendors.
Once per second the IH radio evaluates the link it has to its parent to determine if
this link is the best parent to use. A cost is calculated for each entry and can be
seen in the column labeled "Cost" in the preceding table. The cost calculation is
based not only on the strongest signal, but on several other factors to provide
optimum network communication.
