Advancement Through Research
DTN is a system of smaller network and is an overlay on the top of the internet that supports inter-operability by accommodating long disruption/delay between and within SHIP(Sparse, Hybrid, Intermittent and Partitioned) networks. During the literature survey, it was found that research and implementation is being carried out in different areas of DTN like Routing, Quality of Service, Buffer Space Management, Node Energy Optimization, and Security. In the current research work, it is described in detail how local context information related to network nodes can be exploited to develop a routing scheme that offers similar message delivery statistics as other schemes and drastically reduces network traffic at the cost of a little higher latency. Such a scheme is of considerable use to network providers who wish to extend their services to sparsely populated areas like mountains, deserts, etc.
