> Maintaining the DHT connection is "expensive", expensive meaning a few packets a minute. Could power be saved by batching messages? For example, in Bluetooth Low Energy, much power is saved by the radio waking up infrequently, and only staying on for a brief duration. That's how one makes sensors that run for a year off of coin cells. I wonder if it would improve the power situation on mobile if the DHT was maintained by far less frequent but larger bursts of network traffic.
