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

Download our open source implementation for Contiki directly from our GitLab: https://gitlab.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/udtn.
