Delay-tolerant networking (DTN) is a term invented to describe and encompass all types of long-delay, disconnected, disrupted or intermittently-connected networks, where mobility and outages or scheduled contacts may be experienced. 'DTN'…
Delay tolerant network (DTN) is opportunistic network where each node searches best opportunity to deliver the message called bundle to the destination. DTN implements a store and forward message switching system by simply introducing…
In disruption-tolerant networking (DTN), data is transmitted in a store-carry-forward fashion from network node to network node. In this paper, we present an open source DTN implementation, called DTN7, of the recently released Bundle…
Routing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) benefits considerably if one can take advantage of knowledge concerning node mobility. The main contribution of this paper is the definition of a generic routing scheme for DTNs using a…
The Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) community has created solid results during the last three decades. One aspect that still requires focus, however, is the simplification of configuring systems participating in DTN communication. In this…

Most disruption-tolerant networking (DTN) protocols available in the literature have focused on mere contact and intercontact characteristics to make forwarding decisions. Nevertheless, there is a world behind contacts: just because one…
Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTN) are critical for reliable communications in challenged network environments, particularly for space systems where end-to-end connectivity cannot be guaranteed. We present an open-source,…
Software Defined Networks has seen tremendous growth and deployment in different types of networks. Compared to traditional networks it decouples the control logic from network layer devices, and centralizes it for efficient traffic…
Data transfer in opportunistic Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) must rely on unscheduled sporadic meetings between nodes. The main challenge in these networks is to develop a mechanism based on which nodes can learn to make nearly optimal…
