Discussion Notes
Om: What LPL API should we use? localsleepinterval and rxinterval?
Phil: We had this discussion in core. On one hand we want to set it globally. On the other hand global thing is the default and want to change it if a protocol wants to do that. SendNotifier wires to a Singleton component, set the default in this component. Then the stack can get the parameter values from this component. Can customize it as well.
Om: Multihoposcilloscope will make a single call to this component during boot and that's it?
Phil: Yes.
Om: Code freeze next month so we should just plan to use this new API but don't need to wait for this API for testing.
Razvan: created LplAMSender and ran Deluge on top it and it seemed to work despite it being a bit slow.
Om: I did one round of testing CTP with LPL and it is not working - nodes are not finding the route. Need to trace it more.
Razvan: What is the backoff interval for drip?
Phil: 1s
Om: What should be the default sleep interval for LPL test apps?
Phil: I think 500ms.
Om: Can we test Deluge on top of DIP? That will be a good way to verify Drip/DIP interchangeability (ignoring performance)
Razvan: Haven't tried but will.
Om: Sent TEP 4 last week, lets change AM type next week.
Om: We should start listing new things for 2.1
Phil: There is release-notes.txt file in the root directory, we should add entries there.
Om: Things to do for 2.1 - testing scripts for me, collection simulation tutorial for Phil.
Razvan: What do we do with tos.py?
Phil: How about a different name?
Om: Maybe the word serial be there in the name?
Razvan: packet? tos-serial? packetcomm?
Om: Break the files into two so that it is easier to name it?
Phil: sdk/python/dpacketlib.py?
Razvan: It is more general ...
Razvan: Should be in tools or sdk?
Phil: sdk
Om: Could you have used the existing Python SDK?
Razvan: No because it does not support direct communication with serial interface
Om: Would you consider contributing this to the standard Python SDK in the future?
Razvan: Maybe in the future.
