Quality The Link Quality expressed as a percent. This is calculated as the moving average of total sent packets over total sent packets plus retransmissions. For example, if the node had to send every packet twice for it to be successfully received, the link quality would be 50%. An additional penalty is subtracted from Link Quality if the neighbor node is unpingable, which is explained in the *Advanced Configuration* section under "Ping Penalty".
