Revision history [back]

What is the actual semantics of the message being sent, does it have some set lifetime? One possible option here would be for the publisher to be set to "latched" and then have the node only sleep for the "valid lifetime" of the message that is latched. By latching the message, you avoid the issues with subscribers not connecting quickly enough between the time of advertisement and before publication of the message.
