Bundle Layer End-to-end Retransmission Mechanism

Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) has been proposed as a global overlay architecture to provide network connectivity in challenged environments such as deep-space communications field. Bundle Protocol along with its convergence layer protocols transform end-to-end reliability into questionable hop-by-hop reliable communication and imposes a two-tier routing policy that allows flexible routes only within regions. In this paper we propose a Bundle...
