Abstract

I will discuss the properties of internetworked systems that incorporate DTN (Disruptive-/Delay- Tolerant Network) technologies and claim that DTN has the potential to gradually become the network protocol of choice for all heterogeneous internetworks. I will highlight examples from the space and opportunistic network domains and present my view of Future Internet along with a corresponding research agenda. During my talk, I will present the projects, activities and research achievements of the Space Internetworking Center.

Note: FP7 -Space, FP-7 REGPOT and ESA support is acknowledged.
