Comparison of the Current Routing Protocols Availability in DTN2 and IBR-DTN

摘要

Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN) has been more attractive in the environment where communications often have delays and disruptions. Although many routing protocols for DTN have been proposed by mathematical analysis and simulation, it is not sufficient to discuss the operability and effectiveness of the routing protocols supported by the current DTN implementations. To study and implement new DTN applications, it is necessary to understand the current status of the DTN implementations. The demonstration employs DTN2 and IBR-DTN as reference implementations, and then we present instances of data communication among five DTN nodes by using the routing protocols.
