Abstract

So what is all this DTN research about anyway? Sceptics ask: "Why are there no DTN applications?", or "Why is DTN performance so miserable?" This article attempts to address some of these complaints. We present suggestions of expectations for applications, and metrics for performance, which suggest a more tolerant view of research in the area.
