商品簡介
A researcher and a professor at Trinity College Dublin introduce delay- and disruption-tolerant networking (DTN) techniques for achieving reliable networking under stressed and unreliable conditions. After explaining why the current internet protocol suite is not always adequate, the authors describe the bundle protocol being developed by the Internet Research Task Force, the Licklider transmission protocol, the wwwoffle proxy, TierStore, the LTP-T protocol, TP-Planet, Fidonet, erasure coding, and Postmanet. A lake water quality monitoring project and deep-space mission simulation model illustrate application of the bundle and Licklider protocols to a network.
