Delay Tolerant Network

DTN - Routing Simulation Study: One of the most promising emerging approaches to providing reliable data communication in such environments is Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networkin (DTN). A delay tolerant network is a store and forward network where end-to-end connectivity is not assumed and where opportunistic links between nodes are used to transfer data. This master thesis analyses some routing algorithms applied on a Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network and highlights the main weak points and further parameters that should be taken into account for routing in DTN. We also draw the attention on an homomorphism between the equation of state for gas and our equation of state for mobile ad hoc networks.
