CONFIG_BT_CTLR_CONN_RANDOM_FORCE

Enable random forced scheduling for peripheral on missed anchor point

Type: bool

Help

When enabled, controller will have legacy behavior and randomly force
priority at next ticker scheduling for peripheral role, if anchor point is
missed.
Two or more connections with similar interval on a device connected
to a peer device having two or more connections at its end with same
interval could lock to a round robin pattern where in neither of the central
nor peripheral event would be in sync at either end. Randomness allows
to break this locked round robin pattern permitting an anchor point sync.
