Blacklist
---------
The group ``[Blacklist]`` contains settings related to blacklisting of BSSes.
If iwd determines that a connection to a BSS fails for a reason that indicates
the BSS is currently misbehaving or misconfigured (e.g. timeouts, unexpected
status/reason codes, etc), then iwd will blacklist this BSS and avoid connecting
to it for a period of time. These options let the user control how long
a misbehaved BSS spends on the blacklist.

* - InitialTimeout
- Values: uint64 value in seconds (default: **60**)
The initial time that a BSS spends on the blacklist.
* - Multiplier
- Values: unsigned int value in seconds (default: **30**)
If the BSS was blacklisted previously and another connection attempt
has failed after the initial timeout has expired, then the BSS blacklist
time will be extended by a multiple of *Multiplier* for each
unsuccessful attempt up to *MaxiumTimeout* time in seconds.
* - MaximumTimeout
- Values: uint64 value in seconds (default: **86400**)
Maximum time that a BSS is blacklisted.
