+Currently, a service discovery based on IPND but adapted to CBOR and BPv7, TCP, MTCP & HTTP CLs, sprayandwait/flooding/epidemic/static/sink-routing and restful/websocket command interfaces are implemented. 
 Both addressing schemes, *dtn* as well as *ipn* are supported. 
 Furthermore, some CLI tools are provided to easily integrate *dtn7* into shell scripts.
