/**
* \ingroup timer
* \brief A Trickle Timer following \RFC{6206}.
*
* A Trickle Timer is a timer that varies its frequency between a minimum
* and a maximum, depending on events. It is typically used to exchange
* information in a highly robust, energy efficient, simple, and scalable manner.
*
* The Trickle Timer has three parameters:
* - minInterval Minimum interval.
* - doublings Number of doublings to reach the maximum interval.
* - redundancy Redundancy constant.
*
* The timer *period* is variable. It starts at minInterval, and it doubles
* the period length up to maxInterval = std::exp2 (doublings) * minInterval.
*
* The period is reset to minInterval when an *inconsistent* event is detected
* (see `TrickleTimer::InconsistentEvent`).
*
* The actual function fired by the timer is *not* called when a period expires.
* Rather, it is called in random moment between half of the actual period,
* and the end of actual the period.
* Moreover, the function is *not* fired if the timer did detect in the actual
* period a number of *consistent* events (see `TrickleTimer::ConsistentEvent`)
* greater than the redundancy constant. Setting the redundancy constant to zero
* disables this feature.
*
* The Trickle Timer is mainly used to self-regulate the transmission of periodic
* information (e.g., Router Advertisements) in wireless networks - and
* particularly in LLNs. In these contexts the frequency of the timer is adjusted
* according to, e.g., RS multicast messages. Moreover, the redundancy constant
* can be used to avoid congestion in high density networks.
*
* Please refer to \RFC{6206} for a full description and discussion of the Trickle Timer.
