Delay tolerant network on smartphones
Hervé Ntareme, Marco Zennaro, Björn Pehrson · 2011
This paper discusses the Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) service and protocol stack and presents an implementation of it on the Android platform that is called "Bytewalla". It allows the use of Android phones for the physical transport of data between network nodes in areas where there are no other links available, or where existing links need to be avoided for security reasons or in case the Internet is shut down by a government authority like it happened in some Arab countries during the spring of 2011.
