Abstract


The absence of some key TCP/IP assumptions in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) makes the employment of conventional management approaches more difficult. This paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the traditional centralized, hierarchical, and distributed management approaches being used in a DTN environment. A DTN simulator was used for evaluating two metrics regarding the use of these management approaches: the success poll rate and the latency of the monitoring operation. The results achieved in this work have potential for guiding the development of new solutions for managing Delay-Tolerant Networks and improving its fault tolerance.
