Adding delay in the start of malicious mote.

[abhiverma866]

I want to add delay in the node startup of malicious mote. My aim is to make a mote send its first DIS after certain period of time. Like in case of hello-flood the DIS_START_DELAY is set to 0. However, when i set delay to 60, it rarely makes any difference. The hello-flood should start after the nodes have found their parents i.e. network topology has been setup. How can i do this.

Hi @abhiverma866
I apologize for the huge delay.

After a bit of testing, it appears that, whatever I set for the related constant, in practice the delay always seems to be 0.

Namely, I tried a few times to adapt the malicious-[...].c files at rpl-attacks/templates/experiment/motes to make the malicious mote compile with the option set to multiple test values, but rpl.log always shows DIS sent by the malicious mote from the very beginning of the experiment.

I fear this issue comes from Contiki.

Thank you for your reply. Well the issue was resolved by simply adding a stimer after PROCESS_BEGIN.
