1. EXTENDED ABSTRACT Delay-tolerant Networking (DTN) [3] has moved a long way from its—for many probably somewhat elite—origin of a technology for an Interplanetary Internet in the late 1990s to an established research discipline. One major contributor to this trend was the observation that quite a few terrestrial networks exhibit delay-tolerant properties, albeit of different nature: from spar...

The traditional routing protocols for delay tolerant networks (DTN) usually take the strategy of spreading multiple copies of one message to the networks. When one copy reaches destination, the transmission of other copies not only waste the bandwidth but also deprive other messages of the opportunities for transmission. This paper brings up a mechanism to eliminate the redundant copies. By add...

Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networking (VDTN) was proposed as a new variant of a delay/disruptive-tolerant network, designed for vehicular networks. These networks are subject to several limitations including short contact durations, connectivity disruptions, network partitions, intermittent connectivity, and long delays. To address these connectivity issues, an asynchronous, store-carry-and-forwa...

Delay-tolerant networking (DTN) offers a novel architecture that can be used to enhance store-carry-forward routing in satellite networks. Since these networks take advantage of scheduled contact plans, distributed algorithms like the Contact Graph Routing (CGR) utilized optimize data delivery performance. However, despite numerous improvements made CGR, there is lack proposals prioritize traff...
