/**
+ * This application is derived from a similar application in the TinyThread
+ * implementation by William P. McCartney from Cleveland State University (2006)
+ *
+ * This application stresses the operation of the thread based AM commands for
+ * packet transmission and reception. To run this application you will need to
+ * burn it on one mote with NODE_ID 0, and a second mote with NODE_ID 1.
+ *
+ * Three different threads run that each contain an infinite loop that first sends
+ * a message and then waits to receive a message before returning to the top of the
+ * loop. After each message reception, one of the onboard LEDs is toggled to
+ * indicate that it was received. Thread 0 blinks LED0, thread 1 blinks LED1, and
+ * thread 2 blinks LED2. The three threads run independently, and three different
+ * messages are bounced back and forth between the two motes in an unsynchronized
+ * fashion. In contrast to the more complicated Bounce application found in the
+ * normal nesC threads version of this application, once a thread receives a
+ * message it will immediately flip on its LED instead of waiting on a Barrier and
+ * synchronizing the LEDs to come on only once messages have been received from all
+ * threads. In this way, messages are bounced back and forth between the two motes
+ * in an asynchronous fashion, and LEDS are toggled immediately upon message
+ * reception..
+ *
+ * Successful running of this application results in each LED bouncing back and
+ * forth between each mote independent of one another. This will continue in an
+ * finite loop forever.
