Abstract

The Trickle algorithm has proven to be of great benefit to the Wireless Sensor Networking area. It has shown general applicability in this field, e.g. for code distribution to smart objects and routing information distribution between smart objects. Up to now analysis of the algorithm has focussed on simulation studies and measurement campaigns. This paper introduces an analytical models for the algorithm’s behaviour for the time to consistency. The model is compared with simulation results for a set of network topologies and enables to discover efficient settings of the algorithm for various application areas, such as logistics.
