Hi all,

Can someone help explain the meaning of the following
parameters in Surge_Reliable/Surge.h?

enum{
    INITIAL_TIMER_RATE = 1024 * 2,
    FOCUS_TIMER_RATE = 1000,
    FOCUS_NOTME_TIMER_RATE = 1000
};

There is some explanation in the guide. But I still
feel confused. In an experiement, if I set
INITIAL_TIMER_RATE = 1024 * 8, it takes 6 minutes for
a 3-node line to form. 

If I set INITIAL_TIMER_RATE = 1024 * 1, two nodes find
each other after 2 minutes, but the third node never
gets into the 2-node network. I did observe the rate
of packets read by the serial port is must faster than
in the previous case. 

Thanks.

By the way, I think Surge_Reliable only provides a
routing protocol, and the MAC protocol is BMAC. Am I
right?
