VIAVI TestCenter: 802.11r FT Roaming - roam order does not follow the target BSSIDs as configured

Here is a list of BSSID targets.  74:83:C2:7B:FB:E5 (AP1) 74:83:C2:7C:0F:D3 74:83:C2:7B:FB:E5 80:2A:A8:18:73:39 74:83:C2:7B:FB:E5 80:2A:A8:95:4B:3D 74:83:C2:7B:FB:E5   The use case is:  • STC station will associate to AP1 (i.e., BSSID ending with E5)  • then roam to another AP and roam back to AP1,  • then roam to another AP and roam back to AP1,  • and so on. When the test is run, it’s skipping a couple of roams to E5. Here’s what the pcap shows (see attached pcap): • associate E5 – pkt 281 • reassociate D3 – pkt 1392 • associate E5 – pkt 1507 • reassociate 39 – pkt 3082 • reassociate 3D – pkt 5202 • reassociate D3 – pkt 7371 • reassociate E5 – pkt 9195 • reassociate 39 – pkt 11272   So, it seems there are missing roams to E5: • between 4) and 5) and again  • but there’s a beacon from E5 at packet 5183 and so it’d seem that we should roam to E5 but instead skip it and roam to 3D instead • between 5) and 6)  • but there’s a beacon from E5 at packet 7348 and so it’d seem that we should roam to E5 but instead skip it and roam to D3 instead
