a9bad71fbd Increased the number of bits that repressent the MAX_RETRANSMITS attribute to allow for more than 7 hop-by-hop retransmissions 2010-03-14 23:01:12 +00:00

7165a3866f Significant rework of the Contiki data collection protocol:
* the new version makes use of MAC-layer feedback so that bad paths
  can be identified quicker and then avoided.

* the new code uses transport layer ACKs that contain feedback from
  the collect protocol: when a packet cannot be forwarded due to lack
  of resources, the ACK contains a flag that indicates that the packet
  could not be forwarded. ACKs also contain the routing metric of the
  sender, which improves agility in face of rapid path changes.

* loop detection and management has been improved: with higher path
  metric agility, the system is more prone to short-lived routing
  loops. Instead of dropping looping packets, the new version adjusts
  the routing metric for the routes that exhibit loops so that the
  risk for future loops is reduced.

* make use of packet attributes to inform the MAC layer of how many
  times packets should be retransmitted.

0eade2886c Better loop handling: when a loop is detected, the neighbor to which the packet was originally sent gets an inflated ETX; made sure that collect without announcments work; increased timeouts, to work nicer in larger networks 2010-02-23 18:35:23 +00:00

e70cf0c7c6 Rewrite of the collect module. The new version uses a packet queue for outgoing and forwarded packets so that more than one packet can be forwarded at the same time. The new version uses the packetqueue module to maintain the packet queue. 2009-04-29 20:48:57 +00:00

65eb5fd4e8 Renamed the rimebuf module to packetbuf to signal that the module is used outside of a pure Rime context (e.g., the sicslowpan code uses it). 2009-03-12 21:58:20 +00:00

3670ef2f44 Rewrote the collect module so that it uses the announcement module rather than the neighbor-discovery module. This makes it possible to implement other annoumcement back-ends than the traditional broadcast-based neighbor discovery 2009-02-09 20:58:25 +00:00

01da62aa25 Changed local rtmetric name from 'local_rtmetric' to 'rtmetric' and updated the neighbor discovery module from nbh to neighbor-discovery 2007-12-09 15:43:09 +00:00

dca1e0e446 Changed module name to 'collect' from 'tree' to better reflect the purpose of the module, rather than the particular data structure used to implement it 2007-11-28 16:04:41 +00:00
