TL;DR
This paper introduces a flexible, topology-independent interface for determining next hops in Delay Tolerant Networks, enhancing the development and deployment of routing techniques across diverse network topologies.
Contribution
It presents a generic bundle forwarding interface that separates topology-independent processing from topology-dependent forwarding decisions, enabling versatile DTN software development.
Findings
Increased flexibility for DTN forwarding and routing techniques.
Facilitates deployment across heterogeneous topologies.
Decouples bundle processing from topology-specific decisions.
Abstract
A generic interface for determining the next hop(s) for a DTN bundle is a valuable contribution to DTN research and development as it decouples the topology-independent elements of bundle processing from the topology-dependent forwarding decision. We introduce a concept that greatly increases flexibility regarding the evaluation and deployment of DTN forwarding and routing techniques and facilitates the development of software stacks applicable to heterogeneous topologies.
