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.

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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.
