Design and development of Delay Tolerant Network: A case study

Routing is an issue of great interest for opportunistic network called Delay Tolerant Network. The majority of routing schemes that have been proposed till now are broadly classified as flooding and forwarding strategies. All these are categorized on the basis of the important characteristic of any routing protocol i.e. message transmission capability. In this paper, author summarize work as case study in Bapurao Deshmukh College of Engineering, Sevagram for designing and developing Delay Tolerant Network: A Self Capable Network for routing message through the intermediate node devices to the destination. These devices are capable of routing original message of source node by using flooding technique to deliver ultimately to the targeted receiver of the original message. The hardware device which is designed is successfully mounted and demonstrated to study the working of delay tolerant network. The devices are capable of transmitting, receiving and storing messages.
