This example features a simple application sending udp packets on port 0xF0B0,
|
|
from port F0B1, to a udp receiver. It must be used in conjonction with a node
|
|
running the udp-receiver-ipv6 example.
|
|
|
|
We use this example to test UDP, and most particularly UDP header compression
|
|
with IPv6 and 6lowpan support. When IPv6 is used over an 802.15.4 link,
|
|
6lowpan acts as teh adaptation layer between IPv6 and MAC. In particular, it
|
|
can compress packet headers. IP header is compressed, as well as UDP header.
|
|
|
|
With both HC1 and HC01 header compression schemes, UDP 16-bit ports are
|
|
compressed to 4 bits if they are between F0B0 and F0BF.
|
|
|
|
sender behavior:
|
|
The sender is implemented in apps/udp/udp-sender.c and acts the following way:
|
|
it waits 15 seconds (to be sure the node configures a global address, in case
|
|
a router on the link sends router advertisements usable for address
|
|
autoconfiguration) , then sends 5 UDP packets to the receiver address
|
|
entered staticvally in apps/udp/udp-sender.c.
|
|
|
|
receiver behavior:
|
|
When receiving a packet, the receiver answers with a simmilar packet.
|
|
|
|
To run this example, contiki-conf.h must have at least the following flags
|
|
values:
|
|
#define UIP_CONF_UDP 1
|
|
#define UIP_CONF_IPV6 1
|
|
|
|
You must configure addresses in apps/udp/udp-sender.c and apps/udp/udp-receiver.c
|
|
which match your platforms addresses.
