### Partial Packet Handling
|
### Frame Handling
|
||||||
|
|

BLE notifications may arrive in chunks, especially for larger packets. Implement buffering:
|
BLE implementations enqueue and deliver one protocol frame per BLE write/notification at the firmware layer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Implementation**:
|
- Apps should treat each characteristic write/notification as exactly one companion protocol frame
|
||||||
```python
|
- Apps should still validate frame lengths before parsing

MeshCore clients only advertise themselves when the user initiates it. A repeater sends a flood advert once every 12 hours by default. This interval can be configured using the following command:

As of Aug 20 2025, a pending PR on github will change the flood advert to 12 hours to minimize airtime utilization caused by repeaters' flood adverts.

The separate `set advert.interval {minutes}` command controls the local zero-hop advert timer.
