In order for an OppNet system to run in emulation mode with LEPTON, a specific "adapter" must be developed for this system. An adapter is composed of Java code (not much: sometimes two small Java classes may be enough), and a couple of bash scripts.
Adapters are currently available for the following OppNet systems. Others may be developed over time.
DoDWAN is an OppNet system that supports content-based communication in partially or intermittently connected environments.
If you wish to run LEPTON with DoDWAN nodes, please refer to the corresponding howto.
IBRDTN is an OppNet system that implements the Bundle Protocol, as defined in RFC 5050).
If you wish to run LEPTON with IBRDTN nodes, please refer to the corresponding howto.
aDTN (a.k.a. Active DTN) is another OppNet system that implements the Bundle Protocol. Additionally, it uses bundles as a means to propagate routing software code all over the network.
The development of an adapter for aDTN is in progress, so this adapter should be available soon.
If you are developing your own OppNet system and would like this system to run with LEPTON, you will have to develop a specific adapter. Please follow the instructions we provide.
