Re: [Roll] need clarification: DIS processing



At the moment, I cannot figure when an immediate response would be needed.

 

I think Phil mentions that somewhere else as well. The idea would be to arm trickle and let it time out.

 

Also let us keep in mind that in networking at large, most timers are jittered to avoid network synchronizations. In wireless, it is even worse since as you point out, synchronization also means collisions.

Hi all,

 

one question:

when a router receives a DIS, should it answer right away? I guess this is a good source of collision, so a random timer would help. Could we set T to a random value between I_min /2 and I_Min, without resetting I (receiving a DIS does not mean inconsistency)?

 

Best,

Julien
