Abstract
Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) have been proposed to interconnect devices in regions where permanent connections are not available. Due to long duration disconnections, devices in a DTN adopt the store-carry-forward paradigm to transport the generated packets to their respective destinations. Thus, intermediate devices take custody of the data being transferred and forward it as contact opportunities arise. Several content dissemination protocols have been designed to address the DTNs specificities. This paper surveys the proposed content dissemination protocols for delay-tolerant networks, and provides a comparative study of the Epidemic and Prophet content dissemination protocols on the basis of several performance criteria.
