           Summary: ProbeRequestTimeout too large
           Product: ns-3
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: devices
        AssignedTo: ns-bugs at isi.edu
        ReportedBy: gjcarneiro at gmail.com


In bug #177 the BeaconInterval default value was changed to 100 ms. 
ProbeRequestTimeout is now set to 500 ms, which I think is too large.  I think
it should be half the BeaconInterval by default, as before.

My real life captures show me that, in a particular case, all ProbeResponses
arrive within 24 ms.  I think waiting no more than 50 ms by default seems
reasonable.  Arguably 100 ms would not be a bad value either.  I don't have any
hard value on this; only the device firmware knows...
