An Empirical Performance Comparison of DTN Bundle Protocol Implementations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) has received a lot of interest from the networking community. Today the Bundle Protocol (RFC 5050) is the standard communication protocol in DTNs and three major implementations are available. Since DTN is still a young research area, specifications as well as implementations have not yet reached the same state of maturity as e.g. TCP protocol stacks. As of now no quantitative analysis of the different implementation’s performance or a structured evaluation of interoperability has been undertaken. In this paper we present an interoperability check and perform an extensive quantitative performance analysis of the three main Bundle Protocol implementations. While the overall results show that all implementations provide some baseline compatibility with each other, the stability and achieved performance under stress situations varies widely between implementations.

IBR-DTN: A lightweight, modular and highly portable Bundle Protocol implementation
In this paper we present IBR-DTN, a lightweight, modular and portable Bundle Protocol implementation and DTN daemon. IBR-DTN is especially suited for embedded platforms, which allows to leverage the benefits of a fully compliant Bundle Protocol daemon in cost sensitive distributed sensing applications. We line out IBR-DTN’s extensible software architecture and introduce the modules included in ...

In this paper, we evaluate over a software defined radio testbed the performance of a DTN implementation in cognitive radio networks. Our experimental platform uses USRP devices operated by the GNU radio platform for physical and MAC layers operations. Over the deployed software archietcture, we have compared 2 existing DTN implementations then run a set of expirements in order to chatacterize ...

The Delay Tolerant Networking Architecture (DTN) has been proposed for use in challenged networks that suffer from intermittent connectivity or high delay. The DTN architecture and the bundle protocol presents a standard method to interconnect heterogeneous challenged networks using asynchronous message switching. It provides a framework for dynamic routing, contact scheduling, naming, reliabil...

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’ is also used to refer to the Bundle Protocol, which has been proposed as the one unifying solution for disparate DTN networking scenarios, after originally be...
