Two-Node
Terminal Demo

This is a black terminal-style demo page that helps you visualize two-node communication between Node A and Node B. In the web console below, text entered on Node A appears on Node B, and text entered on Node B appears on Node A. For real ION-DTN communication, run the generated commands shown below on your nodes.

WEB SIMULATION MODE: The message relay on this web page is a simulated demo for checking the presentation and user flow. Received messages are shown with a small simulated delay. The browser does not SSH into your nodes or start ION-DTN directly. Real ION-DTN communication is tested by running the generated commands below on Node A and Node B.

Real ION-Core Commands

Node B: start first

        

        

          

            
Node A: send after Node B

Prepare Two Nodes

        
Prepare two low-cost nodes as Node A and Node B. Using the same region and provider usually makes connectivity testing easier.

      

      

        
Start with bping

        
First, confirm that bping / bpecho works. After that, it is safer to move on to a bpchat-style message send/receive demo.

      

      

        
The Web Console Is a Presentation Layer

        
The left and right terminals on this page are a web relay for explanation, exhibition, and presentation. Real bundle forwarding is verified with commands on the node side.
