Making bundle protocol into a game
Brenton D. Walker · 2010
Over the last ten years interest in the field of delay and disruption-tolerant, challenged, and opportunistic networks has grown dramatically. Communication protocols originally designed to accommodate communication in the intermittent and high-delay environment of deep space have been applied to sensor networks, battlefield networks, and more recently, peer-to-peer content sharing and social networking. However despite a flurry of creative proposals for ways this new technology could be used, and the diaspora of mobile phone apps whose sole novelty is to mimic the behavior of an opportunistic network, the technology has not found its way into common use, even among the researchers who specialize in the field.
