To some degree, they should send beacons like mad; they're trying to  
discover the topology and come up quickly. The beacon rate should slow  
over time.

The constants are currently set in CtpP.nc, as parameters to  
CtpRoutingEngineP. They should be enums defined in a header file (Om,  
can you fix this), but currently are just hardcoded constants (ugh).  
In the best case, they would be constants dependent on the expected  
packet time.
