For the emergency communication, we need to ensure that all messages are
transmitted (and received) correctly. We already check if a repeater
acks our message, however a missing ack does not tell us if the message
was lost, or the ack. For that, we repeat the message in this case,
leading to potentially content-wise duplicated receptions on the network.
To let the network depulicate the traffic, the re-transmissions need to
be bit identical with the original message. For that, we compute a
timestamp on initial send and use the same timestamp on
re-transmissions (per message). This further allows clients to
chronologically sort the received messages, making the result easier to
read.
