09071 Executive Summary – Delay and Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) II

Authors: Kevin Fall, Cecilia Mascolo, Jörg Ott, and Lars Wolf

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9071, Delay and Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) II (2009)


Abstract
Today's Internet architecture and protocols, while perfectly suitable for well- connected users, may easily experience serious performance degradation and entirely stop working in more challenged networking environments. These correspondong scenarios all share two commonalities: that an end-to-end path between two communicating nodes may not exist at any single point in time and that communication delay may be significant. With the continued expansion of the Internet into new areas, these environments become commonplace and are no longer restricted to exotic sensing applications but are quickly becoming relevant to consumers in everyday life. Many attempts over recent years of incrementally fixing the Internet protocols in a bottom up fashion have only achieved partial successes, and a more fundamental approach is needed to address networking environments in which delays and disconnections may last for significant periods of time, and are the rule rather than the exception. Delay-tolerant Networking (DTN) has taken a more encompassing approach to dealing with virtually all types of connectivity challenges, from bit rate to errors to delays to disruptions. By providing a novel communication abstraction that relies exclusively on asynchronous hop-by-hop message passing with no need for instant end-to-end connectivity, DTN concepts enable communications even under adverse conditions. This comes, however, at the cost of interactivity of communications, rendering any kind state synchronization or validation more difficult and raising new challenges. These include routing protocols – that need to operate under often unknown future conditions, security mechanisms – that can no longer carry out instant key derivation or validation even if a security infrastructure was in place, and applica- tion protocols and paradigms – that can no longer rely on simple lower layer abstrac- tions promising (mostly) instant and reliable interactions.

05142 Executive Summary – Disruption Tolerant Networking

Authors: Marcus Brunner, Lars Eggert, Kevin Fall, Jörg Ott, and Lars Wolf

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5142, Disruption Tolerant Networking (2005)


Abstract
Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) is a new area of research to improve network communication when connectivity is periodic, intermittent, and/or prone to disruptions. A seminar on DTN was held at at Schloß Dagstuhl, Germany, from 3 to 6 April 2005. Researchers from different fields discussed their approaches to dealing with delays, intermittent connectivity, and the potential non-existence of an end-to-end path in a number of different environments. The two major areas identified were: (1) dealing with delay and disruption in the present Internet in the context of wireless, mobile, and nomadic communications, supporting existing applications and (2) addressing new applications with a focus on exploiting discontinuous connectivity and opportunistic contacts for asynchronous communications. This article briefly reviews the seminar presentations and discussions.
