Abstract:
The area of delay-tolerant networking (DTN) is concerned with highly challenged
networks in which application layer "sessions" commonly lack contemporaneous end-toend
connectivity. For example, efforts to create networks involving Mars orbiters must
deal with visibility constraints that mean that devices are not contactable for extended
durations. Some wireless sensor networks, (where sensors are only occasionally
contactable, for power management or location reasons), also impose similar networking
challenges.
