[Tinyos-devel] Fwd: SendNotifier for Iris.

[David Moss]

Should all applications and protocols use this pattern?  Only if it works
for most people... all I'm saying is it works exceptionally well for what
I'm trying to do in my deployments. 

If there's a better way to have this much control over outbound messages, I
think we'd all be open to suggestions.  It also seems like if Ignacio really
wants this interface built in, it's simple enough to implement locally
without affecting the rest of the world.

Sure but Ignacio did not implement CTP and he wants to be able to
configure the messages generated by CTP. Are you saying all the
applications and protocols should use the pattern you mention? If that
is the case, it seems like that is an argument for pushing this
functionality down to the generic libraries.
