adamdunkels 8f745a6ea6 Added a function for obtaining the current parent 2010-11-06 14:32:10 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 9ecc0437f4 Left-over debug printf removed 2010-10-25 12:25:39 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 5585d72c86 A simple but substantial change: uIP used the htons()/HTONS() macro
functions for converting between host and network byte order. These
names are the de facto standard names for this functionality because
of the original BSD TCP/IP implementation. But they cause problems for
uIP/Contiki: some platforms define these names themselves (Mac OS,
most notably), causing compilation problems for Contiki on those
platforms.

This commit changes all htons to uip_htons instead. Same goes for
htonl, ntohs, and ntohl. All-caps versions as well.

adamdunkels 34cba78ca8 Bugfix: bump advertisements only when a parent changes, not because of an upstream parent change 2010-10-19 07:34:29 +00:00
oliverschmidt 2f89e69ff7 Fixed build for platforms which use the default value for QUEUEBUF_NUM. 2010-10-12 19:51:28 +00:00
adamdunkels 020da4e8ba Added a function for obtaining beacon intervals 2010-10-11 23:44:24 +00:00
adamdunkels ec716ea62d Do not reduce transmission interval, unless explicitly told so with the bump flag 2010-10-11 23:43:01 +00:00
adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels d821ba5e22 Added a lifetime for link estimates: if they are too old, they are
reset so that a new probing period can produce more up-to-date
estimates. Added a congestion mechanism whereby a neighbor can be
marked as being congested for a period of time, during which the ETX
for the neighbor will be artificially inflated.
2010-10-11 23:38:46 +00:00
adamdunkels 5eb4a0fe8d Rewrote the initial link estimate logic: link estimates are now
computed only over the actual samples, not over the entire
buffer. Also, the initial link estimate is much more conservative now
(16 transmissions) to favor links that have been probed, and which
therefore are likely to have better ETXs.

adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 52e9a6f1fb Turned the DRAW_TREE debug flag off by default 2010-10-04 22:36:47 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 40583fe112 Removed the polite announcement code, since it was not used, and enabled the broadcast announcement code by default. Increased the default intervals for broadcast announcements. 2010-10-03 20:10:22 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels d0579c8a81 Cleaned up the collect neighbor management code 2010-10-03 20:07:10 +00:00
adamdunkels b23a364397 rtmetric values should always be computed as 16-bit values 2010-10-03 20:06:25 +00:00
adamdunkels 32ba90ea4c Bugfix: make sure that neighbor exists before attempting to update tx
count.

adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels 2cae71e89b Added a function for obtaining the link estimate and rtmetric for a neighbor 2010-09-22 22:04:55 +00:00
adamdunkels 46b2451969 Made the initial link estimate explicit 2010-09-22 22:03:21 +00:00
adamdunkels 18e31f33b9 Minor tweaks. Removed debug output from CVS. 2010-09-14 06:48:36 +00:00
adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels 2647f879c2 Bugfix: select the best parent if current parent is NULL 2010-06-14 06:54:47 +00:00
nifi f6e0b46f38 * Made Chameleon header processing module configurable (CHAMELEON_CONF_MODULE)
* Removed the unused init function from header processing modules
* Added option CHAMELEON_CONF_WITH_MAC_LINK_ADDRESSES to specify that
  MAC link addresses should be used instead of Chameleon's own encoding
  of sender and receiver. This avoids encoding the link addresses twice
  when the MAC RDC has its own addresses.
