Uh, no. We want to achieve two things: avoid a meltdown in a power on/off scenario, and space the retransmissions sufficiently to avoid collisions. However you write it, that means "waiting [0, Probe_max - Probe_min] for the initial transmission, then NUM_PROBES probe packets, spaced randomly, PROBE_MIN to PROBE_MAX seconds apart (where Probe_Min != 0). -- Christian Huitema
