Performance comparison of DTN bundle protocol implementations
Wolf-Bastian Pöttner, Johannes Morgenroth, Sebastian Schildt, Lars Christian Wolf · 2011
In recent years, Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) has received a lot of interest from the networking community. Today the Bundle Protocol (RFC 5050) is the standard communication protocol in DTNs and several implementations for various platforms are available. As of now, no quantitative analysis of the different implementation's performance or a structured evaluation of interoperability has been undertaken. We performed interoperability checks and an extensive quantitative performance analysis of three Bundle Protocol implementations for Linux systems. In this paper we summarize our main findings.
