Abstract

Delay-tolerant network architectures exploit mobile devices carried by users to enable new networked applications. Efficiently routing information through these DTNs faces new challenges such as mobility and the dynamic nature of the network. Previous work has looked at using encountered nodes to build a social network for routing. In this work we construct routing tables from users' self-reported social networks. Initial experiments indicate that this significantly reduces the delivery cost of transmitting messages through a DTN.
