DTNs Core Protocols Implementations:
1.
ION-DTN: The Interplanetary Overlay Network (C language)
The Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) software
distribution is an implementation of Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN)
architecture as described in Internet RFC 4838.
ION currently runs on various Linux platforms,
OS/X, FreeBSD, Solaris, uClibc, VxWorks, RTEMS, and Windows.
Implemented Protocols:
a.
DTN Bundle
Protocol (BP)
b.
Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP)
c.
New
"streamlined" Bundle Security Protocol
d.
Bundle-in-bundle
encapsulation
e.
Bundle Streaming
Service
f.
CCSDS File
Delivery Protocol
g.
Asynchronous
Message Service
2.
N4C: Networking
for Communications Challenged Communities: Architecture, Test Beds and
Innovative Alliances
There are two different platforms implementing DTNs in
N4C:
Platform:
DTN2 (C/C++)
DTN2
is Delay Tolerant Networking reference implementation and complies to the
RFC5050 internet draft. It is maintained by Delay Tolerant
Networking Research Group.
Source
code is available on the SurceForge DTN2 project
page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dtn/
Instructions how to build DTN2 and configure DTN2 can be
found here.
The latest release has been tested on Linux (x64 and
64-bit x86) and Mac OS X (x86 and ppc). Limited
support has been tested on Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux on arm.
DTN2
Platform Applications:
DTNmailex
DTNmailex is an Email application for the DTN. It
works with the DTN2 reference implementation.
Source code and scripts are available here.
HTML requester
HTML requester is a web-caching application for the DTN.
It works with the DTN2 reference implementation.
Source code and scripts are available here.
PyMail
PyMail is a nomadic Email Application for the DTN. It works
with the DTN2 reference implementation.
Source code and scripts are available here.
DTN2
Platform Tools:
N4C Integration platform
The N4C Integration platform provides an easy and simple
way for the DTN user to install and use all the modules. It is based on the DTN2
reference implementation.
Instructions, source code and Debian
packages are available here.
Platform:
PRoPHET DTN (C++)
PRoPHET DTN software is a DTN stack that is based on the QT
cross-platform framework. It runs on Windows, Linux, OSx,
Embedded Linux and Symbian platforms. It supports dynamic routings such as
Epidemic and PRoPHET. It does not interoperate with
the DTN2.
Source
code is available on the following link: http://grasic.net/prophet
Instructions how to build, install and configure PRoPHET DTN are available here.
PRoPHET DTN Platform Application:
NotSoInstatMessaging (NSIM):
SIM service can be used for sending/receiving the
messages within the DTN region, sending out SMS text messages to GSM network
and sending/receiving Email. It is based on the Nuntius Leo source
code that is a free and open source Email client. It
works with the PRoPHET DTN stack.
Source code for the gateway is available here.
Source code for the clients is available here.
PRoPHET DTN Platform Tools:
PLogParser
Software tool for analysing
field test traces of PRoPHET DTN software.
Source code is available on the SVN
repository.
PLogParser
Software tool for analysing
field test traces of PRoPHET DTN software.
Source code is available on the SVN
repository.
3.
POSTELLATION
(C language)
Postellation is a DTN implementation, running
on Windows, MacOSX, Linux, BSD and RTEMS. It is
packaged for easy installation and instant registration to the dtnbone for end-users. It implements the Bundle Protocol[RFC5050]
POSTELLATION Applications:
a. dtnping/dtnpong
b. dtnsend/dtnrecv
c.
HTTP/HTTPS Proxy
d. RSS
news service delivery, such as NASA news over DTN
4.
IBR-DTN (C++)
IBR-DTN
is a C++ implementation of the Bundle
Protocol developed at the IBR. IBR-DTN supports the TCP and UDP
convergence layers, the Bundle Security Protocol and IPND neighbor discovery
specifications. Experimental support for a DHT naming service and a IEEE
802.15.4 convergence layer are included.
IBR-DTN
aims to be very portable, and is designed to run on embedded systems using OpenWrt. It
has been successfully tested on x86, MIPS and various ARM platforms. Additionally IBR-DTN supports standard x86/x64 Linux
distributions, OS X and Android Smartphones. Source code and packages for
various distributions are available at the IBR-DTN project page.
5.
JDTN (Java)
The
JDTN implementation (in Java) is available from SourceForge and contains a Java-based DTN 'core' that runs on
any platform that supports Java, as well as an set of UIs for Android. As
of March, 2014: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jdtn/
Implemented Protocols:
a. Bundle Protocol (BP),
b. Licklider Transport Protocol
(LTP)
6.
LTPlib
the LTP implementation developed at Trinity College.
7.
Spindle3 The BBN
Technologies implementation of the Bundle Protocol,
based on the PIRANA BPA
Simulators for DTNs
3.
N4C Simulators
Simulation tools used in the N4C project.
Source code is available here.
