Problems with Blobs folder and Virtual Memory
by Romeu Monteiro 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi, We are using IBR-DTN in a vehicular testbed and we currently have 2 issues we are tackling and we would appreciate if you can give us some input about them: 1) Blobs folder As far as we know, this folder's goal is only to host files temporarily. However, after a long time running IBR-DTN (several days) we have seen it increase its size and it has reached 28 MB. It contains many files, many of them old files. We cannot have such an amount of storage being used for this folder, and we would like to correct whatever is causing this. For now we are cleaning the files in folder when the devices boot, but we do not want that as a permanent solution. 2) Virtual Memory We have seen that IBR-DTN does not take up a lot of real memory and we did not have problems with that, but as time goes by we see the daemon taking more and more virtual memory, growing into the several hundreds of percent of the real memory. We are not sure if that might cause problems as time goes by so we would like to prevent the virtual memory from increasing to such enormous values. Do you have ideas or suggestions on how to tackle these 2 issues? Thank you very much, Romeu Monteiro

Awkward sync problem
by Juliano 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi, I'm having a weird problem which I would like to share. I have a two nodes with IBR-DTN, a laptop and a router station. When I turn on the router, the date is Jan. 01 1970 The date of the laptop is the current date. I tryed dtnping, dtnsend & dtnrecv, dtninbox & dtnoutbox, and it works fine with this configuration. IMO, this is a little strange, because I faced situations where synchronization is needed to reach communication with IBR-DTN. However, the stranger is coming! (paraphrasing game of thrones) I setup the router time to the current time too, then, dtnping, dtnsend/dtnrecv, and dtninbox/dtnoutbox stopped working. Weird, right? Can someone help me? PS. the config file is attached. PS2. I want to see everybody here rooting for Brazil (we will be six-times world champions) =) Juliano

Hi, I would like to log some events like contacts, messages sent, messages received, messages dropped (discarded), and other. Someone did something similar? Anyone has a tip/clue? Thank you very much! Juliano

Re: [ibr-dtn] [Ibr-dtn] static connection to two different nodes with same EID
by Johannes Morgenroth 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hello André, your scenario is not possible this way. Each DTN node must have a unique singleton EID to work. Configuring the same EID twice only adds a second path to the same node. The daemon would only utilize one path at the same time. If you want to exploit multi-cast or group EIDs, then you simply register your application to a group EID and send your bundles to that group. You should read the dtnsend / dtnrecv help texts for details. Group routing is implemented similar to flooding and depends on the dynamic routing protocol you configured. "flooding", "epidemic" and "prophet" are routing schemes which support group routing. All of them work slightly different. In future, please direct those questions to the mailing-list instead of directly to me. That way other experts get a change to answer your questions.

hello, i try to add route2, but still got the same message when i try to dtnping "timeout" and the notice (log when start the ibrdtn) keep repeated : bundle received-deleted-queued how can i fix this ?

dynamic routing using prophet routing protocol
by magda lena 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

hello, i have this scenario, nodeA = source nodeB = destination nodeC, nodeD, nodeE = nodes between nodeA and nodeB (mobile) i want to send file using ibr-dtn from nodeA to nodeB, but there isn't direct connection between both node (nodeA and nodeB) between nodeA and nodeB there are 3 node(nodeC,E,D) that move randomly and meet each other. how can i configure my ibr-dtn to use prophet dynamic routing with this scenario? thanks for helping :)

dtninbox command
by Theodoros Bourchas 06 Jun '14

Hi, I am testing IBR-DTN features and I would like to transmit big amount of data between wireless nodes. The devices that I use are TP-LINK 3040 v:2.x , flushed with OpenWRT and IBR-DTN 0.13.0-335. Due to insufficient memory space, I have performed an extroot, using a USB storage(32GB). root@OpenWrt:~# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 30642708 9891116 19188328 34% / /dev/root 2048 2048 0 100% /rom tmpfs 14452 528 13924 4% /tmp /dev/sda1 30642708 9891116 19188328 34% /overlay overlayfs:/overlay 30642708 9891116 19188328 34% / tmpfs 512 0 512 0% /dev I have formatted my USB storage in ext3 format (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1) I have changed the configuration file in both sender and receiver, so the bundles and the blobs path to be under /overlay. config daemon 'main' option uri 'dtn://host12' option logfile '/overlay/TMP/ibrdtn.log' option errfile '/overlay/TMP/ibrdtn.err' option fragmentation 'yes' option scheduling 'yes' option routing 'epidemic' config daemon 'safemode' option forwarding 'no' option storage '64M' option maxblock '16M' config daemon 'storage' option engine 'simple' option blobs '/overlay/TMP/blobs' option bundles '/overlay/TMP/bundles' I am trying to send a 100MB file, between two nodes. I have synchronized the clocks of the two nodes and: @Sender: 1) tar -cf file.tar file 2) dtnsend dtn://hostX/inboxReceiver file.tar I can see the bundle of 100M created @ sender @Receiver: 3)dtninbox -w /overlay/inboxFolder /overlay/Folder I can see the entire bundle received correctly under /overlay/TMP/bundles, but when I run the above command, after some time a message "Killed" is appeared. As a result, part of the whole bundle is received (around 10-11 MB), while under /overlay/inboxFolder I can see a blob with the entire size of 100MB. I would be grateful if you had any hint about this behavior and how I can fix it. Thanks in advance, Theodoros

i chmod 777 the /tmp/blob and got no error anymore :) but the problem is i still cannot dtnping, it always say timeout when i try to dtnping. i will try to explain my configuration 1. i have nodeA, nodeB and nodeC 2. when i did not use routing nodeA-nodeB-nodeC can dtnping each other (with adhoc network) 3. i want to dtnping from nodeA to nodeC via nodeB 4. so i have this configuration (as you suggest before) *nodeA (ubuntu) :* limit_blocksize = 1.5G limit_predated_timestamp = 604800 limit_lifetime = 604800 api_interface = any fragmentation =yes blob_path = /tmp/blob/ storage_path = /home/trie/ibrdtn/bundles storage = default limit_storage = 2.5G #dht_enabled = yes routing = none routing_forwarding = yes route1 = dtn://nodeC.dtn/* dtn://nodeB.dtn time_reference = no time_synchronize = yes time_discovery_announcements = yes *nodeB (raspberry pi) :* limit_blocksize = 1.5G limit_predated_timestamp = 604800 limit_lifetime = 604800 api_interface = any fragmentation =yes blob_path = /tmp/blob/ storage_path = /home/trie/ibrdtn/bundles storage = default limit_storage = 2.5G #dht_enabled = yes routing = default routing_forwarding = yes time_reference = yes time_discovery_announcements = yes *nodeC (ubuntu) :* limit_blocksize = 1.5G limit_predated_timestamp = 604800 limit_lifetime = 604800 api_interface = any fragmentation =yes blob_path = /tmp/blob/ storage_path = /home/trie/ibrdtn/bundles storage = default limit_storage = 2.5G #dht_enabled = yes routing = default routing_forwarding = yes route1 = dtn://nodeA.dtn/* dtn://nodeB.dtn time_reference = no time_synchronize = yes time_discovery_announcements = yes 5. and i start ibrdtn using "dtnd -i wlan0 -c /etc/ibrdtn/ibrdtnd.conf -c" 6. when i try this from nodeA : dtnping dtn://nodeB/echo it still got 'timeout' and vice versa 7. did i miss something in my configuration ? thanks for helping me to fix my problem :) This means that the directory is owned by user root and only writable > for user root.
