- derbOac 5y agoI'm at such a loss for what they were trying to do with that that I started wondering if that was intentional.

- tpolzer 5y agoIf I'm reading Figure 5 ("Fraction of clients reached by each message.") correctly, in a simulated "neighborhood network" with 50 users, broadcast messages reach less than 50% of users?!
- tk8n 5y agoI'm the main author of this paper. It was a part of my PhD work on opportunistic networking. I'm surprised to see it here, but happy to answer any questions. I still believe this approach has a lot of unrealized potential, but unfortunately I never had the resources (time, students, funding) to push it as far as I think it could go. It has been maintained on a best effort basis over the years.
- Atlas667 5y agoThis is pretty cool, I've imagined similar concepts. Are you running it anywhere or do you know anyone who is running it?
- MayeulC 5y agoHi, from a first glance at the project, how would it compare with yggdrasil, cjdns, etc (pinecone, batman and other mesh networks) ? Edit: looks like the main difference is caching, allowing for disconnected networks (also sneakernets) to store and forward messages later, a bit like Secure Scuttlebutt handles it. Interesting.
- tk8n 5y agoYes, the difference is that mesh networks and MANETs attempt to build end-to-end packet paths. This approach (opportunistic networking, or Delay-Tolerant Networking) relies purely on infrequent peer-wise contacts to forward messages. The protocol stack in the Liberouter system is the DTN stack, ie., the Bundle Protocol (RFC 5050, 9171).
- MayeulC 5y agoThat sounds like an extremely interesting topic, thanks for the answer! I wish it was spelled a bit more clearly on the website too. That would interoperate well with RFC 1149 (IP over avian carriers!).
