Interpolation might have interesting error properties if the minimum
interval for Trickle is too short. Consistency condition should also
include neighboring nodes getting out of sync or there has to be some
kind of PULL bit.

Even if the FTSP owners want to stick with periodic beaconing, 10s is
too frequent.
