This is the Contiki-NG border router. It supports two main modes of operation:
|
||
|
|
embedded and native. In both cases, the border router runs a simple Web server
|
||
|
|
that exposes a list of currently connected nodes via HTTP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See https://github.com/contiki-ng/contiki-ng/wiki/Tutorial:-RPL-border-router

# Embedded border router
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The embedded border router runs on a node. It is connected to the host via SLIP.
|
||
|
|
The host simply runs a tun gateway (`tunslip6`). To use, program a node, and
|
||
|
|
then start `tunslip6` on the host via the make command `connect-router`.
|
||
|
|
See embedded/README.md for more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Native border router
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The native border router runs directly at the host. The node simply runs a
|
||
|
|
SLIP-radio interface (`examples/slip-radio`). The host, on the other hand, runs
|
||
|
|
a full 6LoWPAN stack.
|
||
|
|
See native/README.md for more.

# RPL node
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As RPL node, you may use any Contiki-NG example with RPL enabled, but which
|
||
|
|
does not start its own DAG (as this is the responsibility of the border router).
|
||
|
|
For instance `examples/hello-world` or `examples-coap` are great starting
|
||
|
|
points. This is not intended to run with `examples/rpl-udp` however, as this
|
||
|
|
examples builds its own stand-alone, border-router-free RPL network.
