Scaling an interplanetary Internet
Stephen P. Farrell, Christian D. Jensen · 2003
Work on delay tolerant networking has grown out of work on an interplanetary Internet and aims to provide a type of network stack which is specifically designed for use in networks with inherently long transit times - often also involving highly constrained network nodes. We present an update on progress with this technology and describe how it might be used to construct a flexible network to support both one type of Earth-based sensor network as well as future space applications.
