Articles

[edit]

There was a recent article in IEEE Spectrum about DTN... perhaps we can look through it and add additional citations? http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/space-flight/interplanetary-internet-tested JonathonReinhart (talk) 15:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page Rename

[edit]

I'm thinking about giving this article a makeover, and, in doing so, giving it a name change to the more commonly accepted name of "Disruption Tolerant Networking" rather than the current "Delay Tolerant Networking" ("delay" was used mainly when the field only looked at deep-space communication, but now the problem is more general). Is there any objections to this change before I make it and change all the pages that point here? Utopianheaven (talk) 19:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Objection. Disruption actually induces a different kind of delay before the link comes up again. 'delay tolerant' is widely used - look at the IRTF DTNRG group as an example, while 'disruption tolerant' was created to sell the idea to DARPA; the term is used more in military contexts, and Disruption-Tolerant Networking redirects here. (The name should actually be 'Delay-Tolerant Networking', hyphenating related adjectives.) When looking at deep-space comms this was known as the Interplanetary Internet.

Objection. Disruption-tolerant is the special case when long propagation delays aren't considered so important.Kfallca (talk) 10:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unless we are talking about a specific network, the proper name is "Delay–tolerant network", which I propose we rename this article to. --Adoniscik(t, c) 05:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Objection. While delay and disruption can in some senses be mapped to one another (a long-delay link may 'appear' to be unusable; store-and-forward to overcome temporary network partitions imposes a delay on data movement), each also has its own characteristics. I think simply making clear within the article that the same work is referred to as both 'Delay-Tolerant' and 'Disruption-Tolerant' is probably the best way to go. I've taken to referring to the work as 'Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking', since some audiences have seen or heard of the work before in one context but not the other.

See Also section?

[edit]

I'd like to add a link to Store and forward, but that kind of belongs in a See Also section, and this article doesn't have one yet... Dankegel (talk) 01:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DTN as a brand vs a generic concept

[edit]

This article does not make a clear distinction between delay/disruption tolerant network as a generic concept (ie forms of networking that are tolerant of delay and disruption) and the specific Delay/Disruption Tolerant networking which is an outgrowth of Interplanetary Networking and is based on the Bundle Protocol as standardized through the IETF. The more generic concept of Fault Tolerant Networking is a subtopic of Fault Tolerance, and has a long history. Fault tolerance is also generally a property of store and forward networking. There are also other contemporary efforts at fault tolerant store and forward networking including Logistical Networking, which should be discussed. I intend to reorganize this page to address delay/disruption tolerant networking as a subtopic of fault tolerant networking and to include a full discussion of Logistical Networking.

BPv6 vs. BPv7

[edit]

Can anyone expand on these protocol versions? There's nothing in the article about what the differences are, or why a new version is required. I guess that a new article “Bundle Protocol” would be useful as it does not yet exist. 2A02:C7F:B491:1300:F4CB:12B4:154D:9077 (talk) 06:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
