The FLIP protocol

This page contains information and links about the FLIP protocol.

FLIP is a flexible protocol oriented to heterogeneous devices. It aims to provide efficient communication between very simple devices like the ones used in sensor networks and "complex" devices like normal PCs.

Reseach on FLIP is still in it's early stages and is currently ongoing at the University of California, Santa Cruz. For Practical testing we use Linux 2.4 and for simulations we are working with NS-2.

We still don't have downloads. When we get the code a little cleaned up we'll put them up here.
