Hi all,

I have some questions about the possibilities of RIOT in the network area. 
First a short introduction about my work.
I am currently working on a project for a low power sensor network with an 
ATSAMR21G18A from Atmel and RIOT as operating system. The idea is to connect 
sleeping sensor nodes in a star topology with a border router in the middle. 
The sensor nodes should be IPv6 capable and provide a CoAP server. Next, the 
node should also spend some time in the sleeping state. The resulting latencies 
are deliberately accepted.

I have already done some experiments with the "gnrc_border_router" and 
"gnrc_networking" examples. There was a question about Neighbor Discovering. 
Some of the time constants (e.g., DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME) are inherited from 
RFC4861, but others have been adjusted (e.g., REACHABLE_TIME of 18s). Is there 
a rationale for choosing these values?

At the moment it looks like I am develop my own border router base on the 
"gnrc_border_router" example and trying to cache the data traffic for sleeping 
sensor nodes until they wake up and ask for the data (like the Thread Stack 
does). I would be interested if my approach is correct.

Is there also a possibility with GNRC stack that I overlooked? Or examples of 
this approach?

Best regards
