DTN中概率选择的散发等待路由

目前的Internet体系结构和许多协议无法很好地适应延迟较高和间歇性链接的网络,这些网络有它们自己的专有协议,即聚束层协议,而不采用TCP/IP协议。为了实现这样的网络之间的互联,国际上提出了一种在端到端链接和节点资源都受限的新型网络体系和应用接口,即容迟网络（DTN）。文中主要讨论DTN网络的路由算法,在DTN路由算法中,蔓延路由和概率路由能提供较高的报文投递率,较小的投递延迟,但是开销很大。散发等待路由虽然具有较小的开销,但是投递率低、延迟较大,提出了投递效用的概念。在融合概率选择路由和散发等待路由的基础上,提出了具有概率选择的散发等待路由。通过仿真,与其它已有算法相比,显著提高了报文投递效用。

面向混合DTN网络的新型传输架构 CAF

Delay-Tolerant Networks ( DTNs ) are wireless networks that often experience temporary, even long-duration partitioning. Current DTN researches mainly focus on pure delay-tolerant networks that are extreme environments within a limited application scope. It motivates the identification of a more reasonable and valuable DTN architecture, which can be applied in a wider range of environments to achieve interoperability between some networks suffering from frequent network partitioning, and other networks provided with stable and high speed Internet access. Such hybrid delay-tolerant networks have a lot of applications in real world. A novel and practical Cache-Assign-Forward (CAF) architecture is proposed as an appropriate approach to tie together such hybrid networks to achieve an efficient and flexible data communication. Based on CAF, we enhance the existing DTN routing protocols and apply them to complex hybrid delay-tolerant networks. Simulations show that CAF can improve DTN routing performance significantly in hybrid DTN environments.

容延容断网络路由算法及其存在问题的探析

容延容断网络(delay/disruption tolerant network,简称DTN)是一种新型网络体系结构.在这一类网络中,节点与节点之间不存在端到端的路径,因此节点之间的通信一般使用"存储-携带-转发"的模式来进行,也就是节点需要先将信息存储起来再携带信息,直到遇到能够将消息转发到目的节点的时候才将消息转发出去.因此在容延容断网络中路由算法的关键性问题是如何以较高的发送成功率和较低的延迟将消息转发到目的节点.DTN网络的应用场景通常由手机、蓝牙设备以及具备WiFi功能的手持电子设备等组成的移动自组网络.本文主要研究DTN路由算法及其存在的问题.     

Delay-tolerant networking: an approach to interplanetary Internet

Increasingly, network applications must communicate with counterparts across disparate networking environments characterized by significantly different sets of physical and operational constraints; wide variations in transmission latency are particularly troublesome. The proposed Interplanetary Internet, which must encompass both terrestrial and interplanetary links, is an extreme case. An architecture based on a "least common denominator" protocol that can operate successfully and (where required) reliably in multiple disparate environments would simplify the development and deployment of such applications. The Internet protocols are ill suited for this purpose. We identify three fundamental principles that would underlie a delay-tolerant networking (DTN) architecture and describe the main structural elements of that architecture, centered on a new end-to-end overlay network protocol called Bundling. We also examine Internet infrastructure adaptations that might yield comparable performance but conclude that the simplicity of the DTN architecture promises easier deployment and extension.     

基于稳定闭域的异构无线网络混合路由策略

Improving Bandwidth Utilization of Intermittent Links in Highly Dynamic Ad Hoc Networks

Non-uniform node densities occur and intermittent links exist in highly dynamic ad hoc networks. To fit these networks, researchers usually combine delay tolerant network (DTN) routing protocols and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing protocols. The DTN protocol separates end-to-end links into multiple DTN links, which consist of multi-hop MANET links. Determining how to arrange DTN links and MANET links from source to end and dealing with intermittent links are performance issues, because node density ranges from sparse to dense and MANET protocols are much lighter than DTN protocols. This paper presents HMDTN, an application-network cross-layer framework, to solve the previously mentioned issues. The application layer in HMDTN supports disrupt tolerance with a large data buffer while adjusting the routing table on the basis of the connection state of links (link is disrupted or recovered), which are collected by the network layer. As a result, HMDTN increases the bandwidth utilization of intermittent links without compromising the efficiency of the MANET protocol in a reliable network. The HMDTN prototype was implemented based on Bytewalla (a Java version of DTN2) and Netfilter-based AODV. Experiments on Android devices show that unlike AODV and Epidemic, HMDTN increases the bandwidth utilization of intermittent links with a negligible increase of network overhead. In particular, HMDTN maintains the network throughput as high as regular network conditions even if the network undergoes relatively long-term (dozens of seconds or few minutes) data link disruptions.

     

Transport layer protocols and architectures for satellite networks

Designing efficient transmission mechanisms for advanced satellite networks is a demanding task, requiring the definition and the implementation of protocols and architectures well suited to this challenging environment. In particular, transport protocols performance over satellite networks is impaired by the characteristics of the satellite radio link, specifically by the long propagation delay and the possible presence of segment losses due to physical channel errors. The level of impact on performance depends upon the link design (type of constellation, link margin, coding and modulation) and operational conditions (link obstructions, terminal mobility, weather conditions, etc.). To address these critical aspects a number of possible solutions have been presented in the literature, ranging from limited modifications of standard protocols (e.g. TCP, transmission control protocol) to completely alternative protocol and network architectures. However, despite the great number of different proposals (or perhaps also because of it), the general framework appears quite fragmented and there is a compelling need of an integration of the research competences and efforts. This is actually the intent of the transport protocols research line within the European SatNEx (Satellite Network of Excellence) project. Stemming from the authors' work on this project, this paper aims to provide the reader with an updated overview of all the possible approaches that can be pursued to overcome the limitations of current transport protocols and architectures, when applied to satellite communications. In the paper the possible solutions are classified in the following categories: optimization of TCP interactions with lower layers, TCP enhancements, performance enhancement proxies (PEP) and delay tolerant networks (DTN). Advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches, as well as their interactions, are investigated and discussed, taking into account performance improvement, complexity, and compliance to the standard semantics. From this analysis, it emerges that DTN architectures could integrate some of the most efficient solutions from the other categories, by inserting them in a new rigorous framework. These innovative architectures therefore may represent a promising solution for solving some of the important problems posed at the transport layer by satellite networks, at least in a medium‐to‐long‐term perspective.

A DTN approach to satellite communications

Satellite communications pose serious challenges to transport layer performance, mainly because of long propagation delays (especially in geosynchronous systems) and the possi ble presence of random errors on the satellite link. Solutions that cope with these impairments usually rely upon either the adoption of enhanced versions of transport protocols, or the insertion of intermediate agents, like PEPs (Performance Enhancing Proxies). An alternative approach is to adopt the DTN (Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking) architecture based on the introduction of the new "bundle" layer in the protocol stack. The aim of the paper is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the DTN approach compared to the more conventional solutions mentioned. DTN performance is assessed by considering both fully connected networks and networks where continuous connectivity cannot be guaranteed during data transfer and/or at start-up. Performance is evaluated by using the TATPA testbed (Testbed for Advanced Transport Protocols and Architectures), which is based on a cluster of Linux PCs running the DTNperf application, developed to this end by the authors and now included in the official DTN package. Comparative results show that DTN, coupled with TCP Hybla, outperforms NewReno, offering a performance very close to PEPsal and end- to-end Hybla, which are among the most effective solutions on satellite channels. In addition to these encouraging results, DTN offers an intrinsic greater robustness in intermittent or disruptive environments.
