This sounds like the standard does not specify anything. At an example practice of this link metric information should be described in annex. Discussion: Intended use of the Mesh Link Metric Report frame: HWMP path selection relies on link metric (link quality) to establish bi-directional multi-hop L2 End-End path. When determining a mesh path, a link metric is determined only at one edge of the link. For example, when determining a quality of the link between STA1 and STA2, only STA1 (or STA2) contributes to determine the link metric.
