RFC 4838: Delay-Tolerant Networking Architecture
- Rygian 4y ago"The DTN architecture depends on time synchronization among DTN nodes (supported by external, non-DTN protocols)" (Section 3.12) This is rather surprising for a protocol intended to be used in interplanetary networking and got me wondering about the expected solution to have DTN nodes sitting on Earth, on Mars, on a probe traveling beyond Saturn agree on time synchronization. https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ipin.html https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ipin.html makes for interesting follow-up reading.
