4b4b8fad56 More recent packet entries. Allow 4 queue entries to be dedicated to generated packets. 2011-01-18 16:05:53 +00:00
adamdunkels
81d23a3a36 Minor bugfixes pertaining to queue handling: if a packet was explicitly dropped, the packet would later be acknowledged despite it never being received; added a limit on how many queue entries that can be used for packets that are being forwarded, to allow for originated packets even if the forwarding queue is filled. 2011-01-10 15:10:43 +00:00

148bd60fe1 Bugfix: the defensive retransmission timer setting must be made before the packet is transmitted, otherwise the retransmission timer will always be for the defensive retransmit 2011-01-09 23:49:27 +00:00

19e930e6f2 Changed the behaviour of retransmissions to work better with the in-order CSMA code. The retransmission timer is now set when the packet is known to be sent by the MAC layer. 2010-12-16 22:45:15 +00:00

677575fc8c Rewrote proactive link estimator to be invoked randomly instead of triggered by an empty queue; this makes network bootups because nodes are not synchronized 2010-10-28 15:36:02 +00:00

77ecfb0366 Rewrote parts of the retransmission logic so that collect is robust against the situation where the MAC layer will fail to callback after a packet has been transmitted. 2010-10-24 21:08:19 +00:00

37adf130b4 Rewrite of the congestion logic. A node now report it being congested
when half the transmission queue is full. When a neighbor is heard to
be congested, the rtmetric of that node is inflated to avoid sending
more traffic in its direction.

Fixed problems with beacon intervals: intervals are now not reduced
when a path gets significantly worse, only when they get better.

0cabe483c3 Don't call sink recv function for zero-size packets, since these most likely are link estimate probes or keepalive packets. Explicitly set eseqno to zero when opening a new connection. 2010-10-07 15:52:28 +00:00

ad35c54473 Bugfix: when a node's rtmetric was lower than SIGNIFICANT_RTMETRIC_PARENT_CHANGE, its beacon timers would always be bumped to its lowest value 2010-10-05 20:06:47 +00:00

65d640ac53 Several bugfixes to the proactive link estimate maintenance code, which is now enabled by default. Simplified DRAW_TREE code for drawing routing graph in Cooja. Added routing metric penalty to parents that are congested or that drop packets. 2010-10-04 20:27:50 +00:00

605392522f Bugfixes and improvements: rtmetrics are now 16-bit clean. Added experimental feature that proactively probes neighbors that have not yet been tried out, in order to get an initial ETX for them. 2010-10-03 20:08:44 +00:00

count.

eed22a6f3c A number of changes to the collect code:
* Added an optional "keep alive" mechanism whereby an idle network is
periodically probed by dummy packets to maintain a recent quality
metric when there is no traffic.
* Bugfix in when new routing metrics should be advertised
* Rewrote the ACK logic so that a queuebuf is not allocated for each
ack, only for those acks generated by the sink node.
* Updated the wrap-around logic for sequence numbers: when a sequence
number wraps, it won't go back to 0. Instead, it wraps to 128. This
allows us to understand when a node has rebooted: when its seqno is <
128, it has recently rebooted.

591766e663 Significant improvements to the Collect protocol:
* Loop detection and untangling. Now uses in-band loop detection that
  works.

* Link quality estimation. Now starts with a conservative /
  pessimistic estimate for new links.

* Retransmissions. MAC layer and network layer retransmissions are now
  decoupled.

* Loss handling. Deals better with losses now.

* Concurrent applications. Each connection now maintains its own
  neighbor table with separated cost to sink estimates for each
  connection.

4e0744954a Rewrite of important parts of the Collect logic: link estimation
calculation and parent selection.  This fixes a severe bug that caused
loops when packets were erroneously retransmitted due to ACK loss.

3d10dedecf Added a safety measure against a problem where a node in rare situations would turn itself into a sink. Not entirely sure why this happens, but the safety measure should at least avoid the results of the problem. Added more debug messages. 2010-04-30 07:33:51 +00:00

d7457bc340 Improved parent management: parent neighbor is retained until a better neighbor is found (with 1 ETX less than parent). Don't drop parent neighbors when loop is detected (loops are transient anyway). 2010-04-01 10:03:19 +00:00

9508d2c4d7 * Added configurable default number of transmissions for CSMA to use when not specified using packetbuf attributes (CSMA_CONF_MAX_MAC_TRANSMISSIONS).
* Renamed packetbuf attribute PACKETBUF_ATTR_MAX_MAC_REXMIT to PACKETBUF_ATTR_MAX_MAC_TRANSMISSIONS where value 0 (attribute not set) means that default number of transmissions should be used.

a4f9e62295 Added a parameter to collect_open() that specifies whether or not the node should be a router for packets, or only an originator of packets. Updated the collect module to the new annoucement API. 2010-03-25 08:51:07 +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
