2.6 Summary


The DTN architecture aims to provide interconnection between several networks which may have a poor performance characteristic because of distance or time delay in data transmission. There are differences in TCP/IP compare to delay tolerant network protocol. But for some application such as email, there is some similarity in term of operation where email is a delay tolerant application and no need for end-to-end connectivity. This makes it possible to implement a TCP/IP email system to work as a delay tolerant network (DTN) with some additional method to establish a connection between separate terminal locations by using data mule. In the next chapter, methodology is discussed.
