The problem I have is understanding how to introduce a new capsule that should be propogated throughout the network. Does registerCapsule() command perform this duty?
I understand the part that the versions array will be initialized to zeros, but how do you let MVirus know that you have a new capsule that needs to be propogated? How do you update the version number?
What I've done so far is to take your MVirus implementation and write it in the latest version of TinyOS. I would like to use your algorithm to efficiently brodcast data and commands to a network of motes. I'm not using it in the context of Mate'. Right now I just have a simple app that uses MVirus and I'm trying to use it to disseminate commands. I must not be wiring up all the proper components to get it working correctly?
Thank you for your time,
Franc

Why do you need to initialize it? The array will be filled with
zeroes when the node boots. This means that if any node nearby has
newer code, the just-booted node will request it.
