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.
the packetbuf from packet attributes. Two framer modules are included,
one that creates 802.15.4 frame headers, and one that creates a
minimal "nullmac"-style header that only contains the link-local
addresses.
last were known to be awake. When sending a packet, a sender does not
start to send strobes until the neighbor is expected to be awake. This
reduces power consumption for senders and decreases the contention in
the network as there are less packets in the air. Additionally, the
ACK optimization was improved so that data/ack exchanges now are
more efficient.
sleep for OFF_TIME if the queue is empty.
restrict double packet lifetime timeouts to unicast packets.
stop ctimer in remove_queued_packet in case the function is not called
via the ctimer callback. it could overwrite a valid packet otherwise.
since libc rand() returns a signed int, there were frequently problems with
timer values wrapping. By reverting to random_rand(), we can provide a
random generator that returns an unsigned and the timer problems are solved.
architecture for the Rime stack for Contiki. The Chameleon
architecture separates the header processing from the Rime protocol
logic. Instead of having each protocol create its own part of the
packet header, protocols use packet attributes. Before sending a
packet, a special Chameleon header processing module creates a packet
header from the packet attributes. The same Chameleon module parses
incoming packets and creates packet attributes from the header.

This is a rewrite of the code that was developed for the paper.
In order to support, some core modules are modified as follows:
core/sys/dsc.h
- If CTK_CONF_ICONS is diabled, the whole icon-related code is disabled.
- DSC_HEADER is changed to remove extra semicolon.
core/sys/process.h
- process_data_t is expressed by void* in signatures (known bug on sdcc).
core/sys/autostart.h
- autostart_processes is changed to remove extra semicolon.
core/sys/cc.h
- CC_CONF_ASSIGN_AGGREGATE is introduced.
- CC_CONF_INC_CAST_POINTER is introduced, a workaround of a kind
of sdcc bug for an increment.

Makefile.include
- Add a set of configuration for an assembler.
- $(CLEAN) variable is introduced for customized cleanup.
apps/process-list/process-list.c
- PROCESSLIST_CONF_HEIGHT is introduced to address smaller screen size.
core/lib/ctk-filedialog.c
- FILES_CONF_HEIGHT is introduced to address smaller screen size.
- "register" keyword in a signature cannot be used in sdcc,
