The TurboCell algorithm is pretty complex, so I am not sure of the "delay or
timeout" before it moves on.
However, you must realize the forcing TurboCell to "not wait" has an effect
too! I just wonder if the benefit outweighs the other possible effects on
performance. A question that WISPs have to ask themselves is how many links
do they have that have less then great signal? Most WISPs run with very
marginal links. If we tell TurboCell to ignore those, they may as well close
up shop!

Hello,
I believe it would be a good idea. This situation is quite difficult to
reproduce and only causes the mentioned problem for a short while. Once
it "times-out" or whatever, all satellites resume proper connectivity,
including the one that caused the whole thing to begin with. What is the
delay or timeout before it "moves-on"?
Thanks,
Chris
