Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) differs from the conventional networks in that it has no continuous or contemporaneous connections among wireless nodes. Its inherent characteristic of intermittent connections makes existing routing solutions hardly to be applied directly. Epidemic routing us...
