esp_mesh_send() blocking time question

[VitorBFreitas]

Can someone explain to me what exactly this API esp_mesh_send_block_time() do? It's define a timeout waiting some kind of ACK, blocking caller during this time?
I believe it's necessary understand what it does to define a block time that makes sense. I couldn't find a good explanation anywhere.
If someone know more about it, please share here.

Did you manage to get an answer to this? We are struggling with the same situation, in addition we see that there are cases in which the method doesn't respect the timeout you set anyway...

This is all I know.

from components/esp_wifi/include/esp_mesh.h
