CONFIG_COAP_RANDOMIZE_ACK_TIMEOUT

Randomize initial ACK timeout, as specified in RFC 7252

Type: bool

Help

If enabled, the initial ACK timeout will be randomized, as specified in RFC 7252, i.e. will be a random number between ACK_TIMEOUT and ACK_TIMEOUT * ACK_RANDOM_FACTOR (where ACK_TIMEOUT is specified by COAP_INIT_ACK_TIMEOUT_MS option). Otherwise, the initial ACK timeout will be fixed to the value of COAP_INIT_ACK_TIMEOUT_MS option.
