DTNs face the difficult
tasks of peer discovery and self-organization. Much of current research
focuses on topology optimization. In contrast,
PRoPHET
(probabilistic routing protocol using history of encounters and
transitivity) relies on contact behavior, focusing on patterns of
interaction between network participants rather than end-to-end paths
within the topology. The PRoPHET router and
Bluetooth networking layer
are contributions to the
Delay Tolerant Networking
Reference Implementation,
a project sponsored by DTNRG, an IRTF research group.
