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.

c20047f657 Changed the network stack to use different structures for the different layers (network_driver, mac_driver, rdc_driver, radio_driver). This helps to avoid incorrect configuration. 2010-02-23 20:09:11 +00:00

ca0417a923 Added the MAC layer callback functionality so that the Rime network layer gets information from the MAC about the status of sent packets: were they successfully transmitted, or was there a collisions? How many retries were there? 2010-02-23 18:38:05 +00:00

2d13fecea7 Improved backoff management: timer is now doubled on every transmission, until the using module calls the neighbor_discovery_start() function again. Don't cancel the transmission even if a lower value arrives (this fixes a problem with multi-hop ETX propagaion). 2010-02-23 18:36:50 +00:00
adamdunkels
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
adamdunkels
a4d9d6651b Added the option to specify the old value to observers so that they can determine if the announcement should be sent out quicklier than otherwise 2010-02-23 18:32:44 +00:00

b746b7fc06 Reworked the Rime/Chameleon interface so that packets now always hit Rime before Chameleon. Chameleon is now only called by Rime. This makes packet sniffing easier, and allows for sniffing packets after their header has been processed by Chameleon, thereby making per-packet power profiling much easier to implement 2010-02-23 18:29:53 +00:00

e34eb54960 A work-in-progress rework of the Contiki MAC and radio layers. The
main ideas are:

* Separates the Contiki low-layer network stack into four layers:
  network (e.g. sicslowpan / rime), Medium Access Control MAC
  (e.g. CSMA), Radio Duty Cycling RDC (e.g. ContikiMAC, X-MAC), and
  radio (e.g. cc2420).
* Introduces a new way to configure the network stack. Four #defines
  that specify what mechanism/protocol/driver to use at the four
  layers: NETSTACK_CONF_NETWORK, NETSTACK_CONF_MAC, NETSTACK_CONF_RDC,
  NETSTACK_CONF_RADIO.
* Adds a callback mechanism to inform the MAC and network layers about
  the fate of a transmitted packet: if the packet was not possible to
  transmit, the cause of the failure is reported, and if the packets
  was successfully transmitted, the number of tries before it was
  finally transmitted is reported.
* NULL-protocols at both the MAC and RDC layers: nullmac and nullrdc,
  which can be used when MAC and RDC functionality is not needed.
* Extends the radio API with three new functions that enable more
  efficient radio duty cycling protocols: channel check, pending
  packet, and receiving packet.
* New initialization mechanism, which takes advantage of the NETSTACK
  #defines.

5aab2eb77d A simple addition with significant performance implications:
sicslowpan tags TCP packets with the PACKETBUF_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE_STREAM
flag, which makes the underlying power-saving MAC layer keep the radio
on for some time after transmitting the packet. This allows reply
packets to be processed directly, significantly increasing TCP latency
and throughput.
