10. Data Retrieval in Intermittedly Connected Networks

So you´ve got the net, now what about the data it should deliver? After examining different aspects of DTNs from TCP replacements over routing to network coding, this section deals with the actual transport of data. We have a look at two interesting papers: the first one presents a rather new approach to delivery of data, the other one identifies some flaws in the current (2006) DTN architecture that affect data delivery and proposes some enhancements to correct these.

To have a first shallow insight, have a look at our Introductory Speech Slides (PDF)

Enhanced Disruption and Fault Tolerant Network

First, I'll try to clarify some DTN-related things and buzzwords, to be able to explain which flaws of the current design EDIFY tries to correct. I'll concentrate on aspects that relate to EDIFY.

The [1] concept of the DTN research group views as DTN as a network of networks, as some sort of overlay on top of other nets, being able to support communication between these (maybe diverse) nets. These nets are also called region in DTN terminology ([2])

I tried to summarize the paper in these slides.
