Hello Pieter,
Yes, the DLL is that flexible....and more. Minimizing battery consumption was one of the primary design constraints for the DLL. Time corrections can be accomplished in two ways: 1. Through ACK a. Time corrections can be enabled/disabled in the ACK b. Other fun data can be enabled/disabled in the ACK such as LQI/RSSI data or the EUI-64 of the receiving device 2. Through advertisement headers "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." - Andrew S.

Good question. You can disable the timer for certain paths (if > you want to enforce regular updates between one pair of motes and not > another). But I don't think that you can ignore the time update in the > ack. What's the use case? In a network with a lot of traffic, I can imagine that this time information in the ack's is not always necessary for the motes to stay synchronized. It is necessary sometimes, but not for all successive acks. Disabling this time information in the ack = saving battery juice. To keep things simple, it may be OK to keep the time info always in the ack. I was just wondering if the DLL was *that* flexible :-) Pieter _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan This e-mail (including any attachments to it) is confidential, proprietary, legally privileged, subject to copyright and is sent for the personal attention of the intended recipient only.
