Nănău, Corina-Ştefania An overview of delay tolerant networks and routing protocols. (English) Zbl 1438.68002 Bull. Transilv. Univ. Brașov, Ser. III, Math. Inform. Phys. 11(60), No. 2, 279-284 (2018). Summary: Deep space networks, satellite networks and mobile devices networks can be modeled as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). The introduction of this article comes with a global view over this type of network. The literature review section identifies some challenges met by this type of network and one of the most important evaluation criteria for a DTN. Not only the physical resources, but the routing algorithms that must work with resources and capabilities that are not found in a traditional network contribute to the performance of a Delay Tolerant Network. This aspect is touched in the personal remarks section of the article.
