It's very similar in that both are distance-vector protocols that use ETX as a link metric. Past that, there are a lot of differences, such as how ETX is computed, how beacons are sent, how routes are chosen, how packets are timed, how loops are detected, etc. The devil's in the details. This paper describes how CTP works: http://sing.stanford.edu/pubs/sensys09-ctp.pdf Phil _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
