Each message is transmitted reliably /// between each hop in order to get from the source node to the destination node. /// /// With RHRouter, routes are hard wired. This means that each node must have programmed /// in it how to reach each of the other nodes it will be trying to communicate with. /// This means you must specify the next-hop node address for each of the destination nodes, /// using the addRouteTo() function. /// /// When sendtoWait() is called with a new message to deliver, and the destination address, /// RHRouter looks up the next hop node for the destination node. It then uses /// RHReliableDatagram to (reliably) deliver the message to the next hop /// (which is expected also to be running an RHRouter). If that next-hop node is not /// the final destination, it will also look up the next hop for the destination node and /// (reliably) deliver the message to the next hop. By this method, messages can be delivered /// across a network of nodes, even if each node cannot hear all of the others in the network. /// Each time a message is received for another node and retransmitted to the next hop, /// the HOPS filed in teh header is incremented. If a message is received for routing to another node /// which has exceed the routers max_hops, the message wioll be dropped and ignored. /// This helps prevent infinite routing loops. /// /// RHRouter supports messages with a dest of RH_BROADCAST_ADDRESS. Such messages are not routed, /// and are broadcast (once) to all nodes within range. /// /// The recvfromAck() function is responsible not just for receiving and delivering /// messages addressed to this node (or RH_BROADCAST_ADDRESS), but /// it is also responsible for routing other message to their next hop. This means that it is important to /// call recvfromAck() or recvfromAckTimeout() frequently in your main loop. recvfromAck() will return /// false if it receives a message but it is not for this node. /// /// RHRouter does not provide reliable end-to-end delivery, but uses reliable hop-to-hop delivery. /// If a message is unable to be delivered to an end node during to a delivery failure between 2 hops, /// the source node will not be told about it. /// /// Note: This class is most useful for networks of nodes that are essentially static /// (i.e. the nodes dont move around), and for which the /// routing never changes. If that is not the case for your proposed network, see RHMesh instead. /// /// \par The Routing Table /// /// The routing table is a local table in RHRouter that holds the information about the next hop node /// address for each destination address you may want to send a message to. It is your responsibility /// to make sure every node in an RHRouter network has been configured with a unique address and the /// routing information so that messages are correctly routed across the network from source node to /// destination node. This is usually done once in setup() by calling addRouteTo(). /// The hardwired routing will in general be different on each node, and will depend on the physical /// topololgy of the network. /// You can also use addRouteTo() to change a route and /// deleteRouteTo() to delete a route at run time. Youcan also clear the entire routing table /// /// The Routing Table has limited capacity for entries (defined by RH_ROUTING_TABLE_SIZE, which is 10) /// if more than RH_ROUTING_TABLE_SIZE are added, the oldest (first) one will be removed by calling /// retireOldestRoute() /// /// \par Message Format /// /// RHRouter add to the lower level RHReliableDatagram (and even lower level RH) class message formats. /// In those lower level classes, the hop-to-hop message headers are in the RH message headers, /// and are handled automcatically by tyhe RH hardware. /// RHRouter and its subclasses add an end-to-end addressing header in the payload of the RH message, /// and before the RHRouter application data. /// - 1 octet DEST, the destination node address (ie the address of the final /// destination node for this message) /// - 1 octet SOURCE, the source node address (ie the address of the originating node that first sent /// the message). /// - 1 octet HOPS, the number of hops this message has traversed so far. /// - 1 octet ID, an incrementing message ID for end-to-end message tracking for use by subclasses. /// Not used by RHRouter. /// - 1 octet FLAGS, a bitmask for use by subclasses. Not used by RHRouter. /// - 0 or more octets DATA, the application payload data. The length of this data is implicit /// in the length of the entire message. /// /// You should be careful to note that there are ID and FLAGS fields in the low level per-hop /// message header too. These are used only for hop-to-hop, and in general will be different to /// the ones at the RHRouter level. /// /// \par Testing /// /// Bench testing of such networks is notoriously difficult, especially simulating limited radio /// connectivity between some nodes. /// To assist testing (both during RH development and for your own networks) /// RHRouter.cpp has the ability to /// simulate a number of different small network topologies. Each simulated network supports 4 nodes with /// addresses 1 to 4. It operates by pretending to not hear RH messages from certain other nodes. /// You can enable testing with a \#define TEST_NETWORK in RHRouter.h /// The sample programs rf22_mesh_* rely on this feature. /// /// Part of the Arduino RH library for operating with HopeRF RH compatible transceivers /// (see http://www.hoperf.com) class RHRouter : public RHReliableDatagram { public: /// Defines the structure of the RHRouter message header, used to keep track of end-to-end delivery parameters typedef struct { uint8_t dest; ///< Destination node address uint8_t source; ///< Originator node address uint8_t hops; ///< Hops traversed so far uint8_t id; ///< Originator sequence number uint8_t flags; ///< Originator flags // Data follows, Length is implicit in the overall message length } RoutedMessageHeader; /// Defines the structure of a RHRouter message typedef struct { RoutedMessageHeader header; ///< end-to-end delivery header uint8_t data[RH_ROUTER_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN]; ///< Application payload data } RoutedMessage; /// Values for the possible states for routes typedef enum { Invalid = 0, ///< No valid route is known Discovering, ///< Discovering a route (not currently used) Valid ///< Route is valid } RouteState; /// Defines an entry in the routing table typedef struct { uint8_t dest; ///< Destination node address uint8_t next_hop; ///< Send via this next hop address uint8_t state; ///< State of this route, one of RouteState } RoutingTableEntry; /// Constructor. /// \param[in] driver The RadioHead driver to use to transport messages. /// \param[in] thisAddress The address to assign to this node.
