Abstract

Message Ferrying is a mobility assisted technique for working around the disconnectedness and sparsity of Mobile ad hoc networks. One of the importantquestions which arise in this context is to determine the routing of the ferry,so as to minimize the buffers used to store data at the nodes in thenetwork. We introduce a simple model to capture the ferry routingproblem. We characterize {\em stable} solutions of the system andprovide efficient approximation algorithms for the {\sc Min-Max Buffer Problem} for the case when the nodes are onhierarchically separated metric spaces.
