Rust implementation of a daemon for DTN7 Bundle Protocol draft https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dtn-bpbis-26

Plus:

  • Minimal TCP Convergence Layer Protocol https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dtn-mtcpcl-01
  • A simple HTTP Convergence Layer
  • Convenient command line tools to interact with the daemon
  • A simple web interface for status information about dtnd
  • A web-socket interface for application agents

The actual BP7 implementation can be found here: https://github.com/dtn7/bp7-rs

Additional dtn related stuff and some client code can be found here: https://github.com/dtn7/bp7-plus-rs

A similar golang implementation can be found here: https://github.com/dtn7/dtn7-go

Currently a very basic service discovery, MTCP & HTTP CLs, flooding/epidemic/sink-routing and rest/ws command interfaces are implemented. Both addressing schemes, dtn as well as ipn are supported. Furthermore, some CLI tools are provided to easily integrate dtn7 into shell scripts.

Beware, the API is not always idiomatic rust and lacks documentation and tests at the moment.

I consider this code to be work-in-progress and not finished yet. Also the rest and web-socket interface is totally undocumented and unfinished at the moment :)

Installation

Installation from source using cargo:

cargo install dtn7

Usage

Daemon

$ dtnd -h
dtn7-rs 0.11.0
Lars Baumgaertner <baumgaertner@cs.tu-darmstadt.de>
A simple Bundle Protocol 7 Daemon for Delay Tolerant Networking

USAGE:
    dtnd [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -d, --debug           Set log level to debug
    -h, --help            Prints help information
    -4, --ipv4            Use IPv4
    -6, --ipv6            Use IPv6
    -U, --unsafe-httpd    Allow httpd RPC calls from anyhwere
    -V, --version         Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -C, --cla <CLA[:local_port]>...    Add convergency layer agent: dummy, mtcp, http
    -c, --config <FILE>                Sets a custom config file
    -D, --db <STORE>                   Set bundle store: mem, sled
    -e, --endpoint <ENDPOINT>...       Registers an application agent for a node local endpoint (e.g. 'incoming' listens
                                       on 'dtn://node1/incoming')
    -i, --interval <humantime>         Sets service discovery interval (0 = deactive, 2s = 2 seconds, 3m = 3 minutes,
                                       etc.)
    -j, --janitor <humantime>          Sets janitor interval (0 = deactive, 2s = 2 seconds, 3m = 3 minutes, etc.)
    -n, --nodeid <NODEID>              Sets local node name (e.g. 'dtn://node1')
    -p, --peer-timeout <humantime>     Sets timeout to remove peer (default = 20s)
    -r, --routing <ROUTING>            Set routing algorithm: epidemic, flooding, sink
    -s, --static-peer <PEER>...        Adds a static peer (e.g. mtcp://192.168.2.1:2342/node2)
    -w, --web-port <PORT>              Sets web interface port (default = 3000)
    -W, --workdir <PATH>               Sets the working directory (e.g. '/tmp/node1', default '.')

Example usage for node1 with epidemic routing, mtcp convergence layer and the default endpoint 'incoming':

$ dtnd -n node1 -r epidemic -C mtcp -e incoming

The same but with ipn addressing scheme and a default endpoint at 23.42:

$ dtnd -n 23 -r epidemic -C mtcp -e 42

Configuration can also happen via a config file. For an example take a look at examples/dtn7.toml.example.

Examples

A simple DTN echo service can be found under examples/dtnecho.rs.

This service automatically registers its endpoint and listens for any incoming bundles on the local /echo endpoint or for ipn addresses on service number 7. Each bundle is sent back to its source with the same payload and lifetime, no delivery report is requested.
