 * Trickle Timer test suite.
 *
 * This test checks that the timer, in steady-state mode (i.e., after
 * the transient period) have a frequency between [I/2, I + I/2].
 *
 * The test also checks that the redundancy works, i.e., if the timer
 * receives enough "consistent" events it will suppress its output.
