Abstract

In our demonstration we present an implementation of DTN for embedded systems and demonstrate how a WLAN access point can be turned into a stand-alone DTN-node for mobile applications. The modular software design of "IBRDTN" is centered on the efficient use of resources and interoperability with the DTN2 reference implementation. Our modules comprise a DTN Core, Bundle Router, Persistent Storage and a Convergence Layer Manager. IBR-DTN is work in progress, but the comparison of the features and performance to DTN2 is already very promising. Finally, we present a practical evaluation in a mobile scenario in which a vehicle mounted node passes a stationary node.
