* The polite module sends one local area broadcast packet within one
* time interval. If a packet with the same header is received from a
* neighbor within the interval, the packet is not sent.
2007-05-15 07:41:22 +00:00
*
* The polite primitive is a generalization of the polite gossip
* algorithm from Trickle (Levis et al, NSDI 2004). The polite gossip
* algorithm is designed to reduce the total amount of packet
* transmissions by not repeating a message that other nodes have
* already sent. The purpose of the polite broadcast primitive is to
* avoid that multiple copies of a specific set of packet attributes
* is sent on a specified logical channel in the local neighborhood
* during a time interval.
*
* The polite broadcast primitive is useful for implementing broadcast
* protocols that use, e.g., negative acknowledgements. If many nodes
* need to send the negative acknowledgement to a sender, it is enough
* if only a single message is delivered to the sender.
*
* The upper layer protocol or application that uses the polite
* broadcast primitive provides an interval time, and message along
* with a list of packet attributes for which multiple copies should
* be avoided. The polite broadcast primitive stores the outgoing
* message in a queue buffer, stores the list of packet attributes,
* and sets up a timer. The timer is set to a random time during the
* second half of the interval time.
*
* During the first half of the time interval, the sender listens for
* other transmissions. If it hears a packet that matches the
* attributes provided by the upper layer protocol or application, the
* sender drops the packet. The send timer has been set to a random
* time some time during the second half of the interval. When the
* timer fires, and the sender has not yet heard a transmission of the
* same packet attributes, the sender broadcasts its packet to all its
* neighbors.
*
* The polite broadcast module does not add any packet attributes to
* outgoing packets apart from those added by the upper layer.
