Nautilus6 IP Bicycle Demonstration

Back to top Demo page

Description

Peter PAN will go from Yokohama to Hamamastu on his bicycle with live coverage from the Internet. You can track his whereabouts, current temperature, humidity, and chat with him using the applet. You can also send him a mail and see snapshots pictures and discuss with Peter PAN and other monitors on the blog.

Note that in case of bad weather conditions (very likely), this demonstration may be either cancelled, postponed, delayed, or aborted. See the status on the applet.

Objectives

  • Proof of the IPv6 mobility and multihoming concept
  • Demonstration of possible usages of IPv6
  • Demonstration of the PAN usage of NEMO Basic Support
  • Collect statistics to evaluate the performance of the system
  • Validation of NEMO Basic Support and other IPv6 protocols

Equipment

A trekking bicycle equipped with bags and a PAN composed of:
  • MR: a SOEKRIS motherboard with high-capacity battery, 2 egress interfaces (3G and PHS)
    Interface switching:
    • Upon failure of an interface: a daemon detects failure and switch automatically to the other egress interface.
    • When both egress interface available: automatic switch every 60sec on 3G, 3min on PHS.
  • LFN1: IPv6 SNMP Temperature and Humidity Sensor
  • LFN2: IPv6 SNMP GPS sensor
  • LFN3: Micro laptop PC to monitor the PAN, chat, and send pictures with a webcam
  • Power-over-Ethernet hub with a cell battery pack
For more information, see these slides, the poster and the paper presented at the ITST Conference

IPv6 Bicycle Applications

  • Blog with the pictures and text sent from Peter PAN.
  • Gallery with all the pictures sent from Peter PAN.
  • E-mail Peter PAN
  • VoIP (currently disabled)
  • MonNemo (PAN Monitor)

    Monitor the whereabouts of the PAN either by using our applet, or by downloading our JAVA application:
    • Click here to run the application as an applet (recommended).
    • Click here to download the MonNemo JAVA package (for expert scientists).

      • If you want to access to the sensors data through our database (required if you do not have IPv6 connectivity, and recommended since we do not want everyone to connect directly to the PAN, for bandwidth reasons), run the JAVA application from its directory with "java -jar MonNemo.jar --mode=db --session=5".
      • If you want to access to the sensors directly (if you want to test by yourself direct access to a NEMO network), run the JAVA application from its directory with "java -jar MonNemo.jar --mode=snmp --session=5".
See this poster for more information about the MonNemo application.
