Conjointly with Schedule-Aware Bundle Routing (SABR), inter-regional routing support will be a key component for future interplanetary networks. Dividing the network into topologically or agency-based regions allows SABR to scale by reducing its scope to intra-regional forwarding. In its first formu...
