Abstract
Applications running over mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) often can trade-off some delay versus reliability in case of sporadic disconnection periods. However, existing solutions for network partition [1,2] usually focus on settings for which disconnection is at least as normal as connection. We propose Disconnection Tolerant Networking (DisToNet) as a transparent, routing protocol agnostic solution to support sporadic and time-limited network partitioning on battery-limited devices, at the cost of some duplicate packets. We evaluate DisToNet’s system performance experimentally on an RPi B+ platform.
