As discussed in #2725, this commit renames a number of stacksize constants to
better convey their intended usage. In addition, constants for thread priority
are given a `THREAD_` prefix. Changes are:
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_PRINTF renamed to THREAD_EXTRA_STACKSIZE_PRINTF
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_DEFAULT renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_DEFAULT
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_IDLE renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_IDLE
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_MAIN renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_MAIN
* Move thread stacksizes from kernel.h to thread.h, since the prefix changed
* PRIORITY_MIN renamed to THREAD_PRIORITY_MIN
* PRIORITY_IDLE renamed to THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE
* PRIORITY_MAIN renamed to THREAD_PRIORITY_MAIN
* Move thread priorities from kernel.h to thread.h since the prefix has changed
* MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_MINIMUM for consistency
This implementation is based on RFC 6550 with addition of RFC 6554 (Source Routing Header for RPL). Both can be found under the following links:
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6550
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6554
The PR provides basic functionality for handling and forwarding packages in non-storing mode. In addition the structure of the previous implemented RPL storing mode is now revised, so that readability and modularity is increased. The following features are implemented:
- building function for a SRH and integration in common packets
- source-route build algorithm based on the structure of the DODAG
- an RPL-based interpretation of the SRH and removal at destination
- new structure for RPl-module with extracted beaconing-functionality
- leaf nodes are now supported
There are some missed goals and should be included in future updates:
- building a common routing table structure for different types of routing protocols
- routing tables are statically assigned via source code, future update should have an optional variable at build-time, which sets the size of the routing table depending on the desired functionality of a node in the network (root, node, leaf)
udp_recvfrom wrote the sender port number in host byte order into the
provided sockaddr6_t. Because all send functions expect the port number
in network byte order this introduces a superfluous conversion step in
case one wants to reuse the address for replying.
