Abstract

One characteristic of routing protocols for Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) is flooding of messages to increase the delivery probability. For instance, Epidemic Routing (ER) protocol floods the network with copies of generated messages. This creates a lot overhead in each node’s buffer, and uses a lot of valuable energy from the relay nodes. In order to minimize resource usage, designing energy-aware protocols is a challenge. These protocols need to be tested by simulation and experiments. While simulations are easy to repeatedly perform, experiments require a lot of time and human effort. In this paper, we present our implementation of a DTN testbed, by using Raspberry Pi as a DTN node. Each DTN node is equipped with different sensors and interfaces, and we have developed appropriate software modules to manage these sensors and interfaces.
