Trickle Timer Library¶
Overview¶
The Trickle timer library implements IETF RFC6206 (Trickle Algorithm).
The Trickle algorithm allows nodes in a lossy shared medium (e.g., low-power and lossy networks) to exchange information in a highly robust, energy efficient, simple, and scalable manner.
API Reference¶
-
group
trickle Trickle algorithm library.
Typedefs
-
typedef
net_trickle_cb_t¶ Trickle timer callback.
The callback is called after Trickle timeout expires.
- Parameters
trickle: The trickle context to use.do_suppress: Is TX allowed (true) or not (false).user_data: The user data given in net_trickle_start() call.
Functions
-
int
net_trickle_create(struct net_trickle *trickle, u32_t Imin, u8_t Imax, u8_t k)¶ Create a Trickle timer.
- Return
Return 0 if ok and <0 if error.
- Parameters
trickle: Pointer to Trickle struct.Imin: Imin configuration parameter in ms.Imax: Max number of doublings.k: Redundancy constant parameter. See RFC 6206 for details.
-
int
net_trickle_start(struct net_trickle *trickle, net_trickle_cb_t cb, void *user_data)¶ Start a Trickle timer.
- Return
Return 0 if ok and <0 if error.
- Parameters
trickle: Pointer to Trickle struct.cb: User callback to call at time T within the current trickle intervaluser_data: User pointer that is passed to callback.
-
int
net_trickle_stop(struct net_trickle *trickle)¶ Stop a Trickle timer.
- Return
Return 0 if ok and <0 if error.
- Parameters
trickle: Pointer to Trickle struct.
-
void
net_trickle_consistency(struct net_trickle *trickle)¶ To be called by the protocol handler when it hears a consistent network transmission.
- Parameters
trickle: Pointer to Trickle struct.
-
void
net_trickle_inconsistency(struct net_trickle *trickle)¶ To be called by the protocol handler when it hears an inconsistent network transmission.
- Parameters
trickle: Pointer to Trickle struct.
-
static bool
net_trickle_is_running(struct net_trickle *trickle)¶ Check if the Trickle timer is running or not.
- Return
Return True if timer is running and False if not.
- Parameters
trickle: Pointer to Trickle struct.
-
struct
net_trickle¶ - #include <trickle.h>
The variable names are taken directly from RFC 6206 when applicable. Note that the struct members should not be accessed directly but only via the Trickle API.
