µDTN - A Bundle Protocol Implementation for Contiki

µDTN is an open-source Bundle Protocol Implementation for Contiki OS running on low-power wireless sensor nodes. It is a DTN implementation that is compatible to Contiki’s network stack and is able to handle disruptions without packet loss. Furthermore, it is interoperable with IBR-DTN. It has sucessfully been tested on INGA- and TelosB-Nodes. µDTN has been introduced in the 2012 FSGN Paper.

News: µDTNSec

We now provide a security layer called µDTNSec at https://gitlab.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/udtn/udtnsec.

Getting Started

You can find all the information you will need to get started with µDTN on our Wiki page.

Open Source
