Hi,

I have been working with CTP for a while and I had question that I cannot
find an answer for. I hope someone will be able to give me a convincing
answer.

I know that CTP adapts its beacon transmission interval following the
Trickle algorithm. My question is why CTP sends a beacon in the interval
[t/2, t] and not [0, t]? I understand that Trickle uses the
short behaviour to suppress redundant code transmission. However, CTP does
not suppress beacons transmission. In other words, I don't understand how
the short-listen problem affects CTP.

I came to this conclusion after I read The Trickle and Collection
Tree Protocol papers, tracing and running CTP code.

I hope that someone has a definite and clear answer to my question.

Regards
Islam
