Hey Caroline,
Thanks a lot for your information, it's very helpful.
You're welcome! I am happy to help.
There was a bug in the RPL implementation some days ago that resulted in
wrong entries in the FIB table.
However, this should be fixed in the current master branch of RIOT. In
case you haven't tried it already:
could you rebase/update your branch?
If this doesn't fix the multi-hop communication problem, then I would be
interested in the output of your fib table. You can dump the fib entries
by issueing the command `fibroutes` in your RIOT shell.
(To reduce noise on the mailing list, you can send the dump directly to me)
Let me know if you have further questions/feedback.
Best,
Cenk
I tried to follow the process using rpl for routing and udp to send
messages but I don't manage to send messages via multihop. I can send
a message to the udp server with single hop but as soon as multihop is
necessary to reach the udp server, the message is not received.
When I check the rpl dodag, everything is fine, nodes have the right
parent in the parent list...
Do you have any idea what's could be wrong ?
Thanks for your help !

Hey Santiago,
I am quite new in this brave new world of IOT. Sorry if the question
then is maybe trivial.
All questions regarding IoT and RIOT are welcome on this mailing list (:
You are right, `desvirt` is suitable for creating virtualized networks
and is a great tool to test your
application in a controlled environment.
If you want to deploy your app on real hardware though, `desvirt` will
not help you here.
If you want to communicate over multiple hops, then you need to
configure routes so that your nodes
know in which direction incoming traffic must flow.
These routes can be configured either statically by using the
`fibroute` command from within the RIOT shell, or by using a routing
protocol that configures the routes dynamically.
Let's try both ways:
Pre:
You can start an experiment from the IoT-Lab website or directly from
the command line via a Makefile that we provide in
`RIOTBASE/dist/testbed-support/Makefile.iotlab`.
From within the `gnrc_networking` example folder in RIOT you can call:
`IOTLAB_USER=user_name IOTLAB_PHY_NODES=1-10
IOTLAB_EXP_NAME=multihop_test IOTLAB_DURATION=30 BOARD=iotlab-m3 make
iotlab-exp -I ../../dist/testbed-support`
user_name must be replaced by your login account for the IoT-Lab Testbed.
With IOTLAB_PHY_NODES you can specify the nodes you want to use for
your experiment. You can also choose single nodes that are further
apart like this: IOTLAB_PHY_NODES=1-3+7-10+15
IOTLAB_DURATION=30 <-- this is the duration of the experiment in minutes
Assuming the experiment started successfully, you can then communicate
with the nodes directly from the command line like this:
`IOTLAB_USER=user_name BOARD=iotlab-m3 make iotlab-term -I
../../dist/testbed-support`
This command may prompt you for a password if your SSH key that you
uploaded to the IoT-Lab testbed for SSH usage is password protected.
Once you are connected, the serial aggregator of the iot-lab testbed
will be started and you have a console
from where you can control every node.
For the following I assume you have an experiment with nodes 1 + 5 +
10 and the `gnrc_networking` example flashed on every node.
Static routing:
1) configure a global IPv6 address for every node like this:
m3-1;ifconfig 7 add dead:beef::1 (or any other ipv6 address you
desire)
m3-5;ifconfig 7 add dead:beef::5
m3-10;ifconfig 7 add dead:beef::10
2) configure static routes:
m3-1;fibroute add dead:beef::5 via fe80::x_5
m3-1;fibroute add dead:beef::10 via fe80::x_5
m3-5;fibroute add :: via fe80::x_1
m3-5;fibroute add dead:beef::10 via fe80::x_10
m3-10;fibroute add :: via fe80::x_5
you have to look up the link local addresses (fe80::x_1,5,10) via the
`m3-x;ifconfig` command.
Now you can start e.g. a udp server on all nodes with this single
command `udp start server 8888`.
To communicate e.g. from node m1 over node m5 to node m10 you can then do:
`m3-1;udp send dead:beef::10 8888 hello`. Et voilà, multi hop
communication with static routes.
To save most of the preconfiguration needed for multi-hop
communication, you can use a routing protocol.
Currently, you can only use RPL, but we also have an AODVV2
implementation, which is mostly done porting to the new network stack
(AFAIK, correct me if I'm wrong).
Starting from a running experiment with the same preconditions as
above (just execute `reboot` to bring the nodes back to the initial
state):
1) configure a global IPv6 address for the root node of RPL
m3-1;ifconfig 7 add dead:beef::1
2) initialize RPL on interface 7 for all nodes
rpl init 7
3) start a RPL DODAG with m3-1 as root node and an instance id of 1
m3-1;rpl root 1 dead:beef::1
Within a couple of seconds, all nodes should have correctly configured
routes and you should be able to ping or send udp packets from one
node to any other node that participates in the RPL dodag.
You can check the RPL state of a node by issueing the `rpl` command,
e.g. `m3-1;rpl`.
Let me know if you have further questions (:
Best,
Cenk

Hi all!
I am quite new in this brave new world of IOT. Sorry if the question

I am looking for a solution for sending a packet from a node to an
other through an other node using a wireless radio connection. For
this I'am using iot-lab platform (iot-lab.info), working strictly
with M3 cortex based nodes.
These nodes of course will not be in direct range, and that is why i
need a multihop network.
Then my question is how to build up a network in between different
IOT nodes and finally being able to send packets.
I already tried searching in google and in the documentation, and the
best link I arrived is the following :
https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/Virtual-riot-network
from the following conversation:
https://lists.riot-os.org/pipermail/users/2015-July/000389.html
I understand that desvirt creates a virtual network for me, but i
cannot arrive to understand how to deploy that into a real set of
nodes, since it looks more as a simulation than to a real deployment.
If any one can give me a better clue about how to solve this problem
it would be great.
Thank you very much!
Santiago.
