You're running Babel over an 802.11s mesh?  Why?

Both Babel and 802.11s are routing protocols (more exactly, 802.11s
contains a routing protocol).  Running both in the same mesh is redundant.

This is expected.  The 802.11s mesh is doing its thing, and Babel sees the
mesh as a single hop.

If 802.11s works for you, then please use that.  If it doesn't, then
please tear down the 802.11s and use Babel.  It is pointless to run both
802.11s and Babel on the same network.
