The Trickle algorithm implemented in NetSim is as per RFC 6206.

The trickle parameters associated with each RPL node is declared in the structure stru_trickle, which is part of the RPL.h file. 

The source codes related to Trickle algorithm are defined in the file Trickle.c, in the RPL project. 

The lines #define DEBUG_RPL and #define DEBUG_RPL_TRICKLE in the RPL.h file can be uncommented and RPL source codes can be rebuilt to get additional entries related to trickle timer in the RPL log file as shown below:
