Abstract
Duplicate suppression is an essential part of most of today’s routing protocols for wireless sensor networks as well as for other wireless networks. It is necessary to reduce network load and to refrain from falsifying data on the application layer. However, most routing protocol descriptions do not include a description of the duplicate suppression that should be used. In many cases, duplicate suppression is not even mentioned anymore.
In this paper we describe common mistakes during implementation and usage of duplicate suppression. We also show an example where seemingly correct use of duplicate suppression lead to a decline in delivery ratio of more than 13 percent.
