[Tinyos-help] AM Type Usage

[Nicola Wegner]

Hi,

I have a question about common practice in using the AM Type.

I want to define a protocol with different types of packets.

Should I use one AM Type for the whole protocol and distinguish between the
different kind of packets by using a custom "subtype" field at the beginning
of every payload struct?

Or should I use a different AM Type for every packet type? When so, is there
a different way of sending packets with different AM Types beside using
multiple instances of AMSend?


And a question about the Tutorial "Mote-mote radio communication":
In the receive event the length of the payload is checked but not the AM
Type. Is there a specific reason for this practice?

Thanks in advance for your help

Nicola
