Abstract

Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTN) are an evolution of the Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) where DTN work in scenarios whose nodes are sparsely distributed, with low density, whose connections are intermittent and where an end-to-end infrastructure is not available. Therefore, DTN are recommended for high latency applications which can last from hours up to days. The maritime scenario has characteristics that would justify the use of DTN networks, then this work proposes to evaluate DTN approach in the maritime scenario involving warships along with helicopters for the forwarding of tactical messages. The simulations compared the performance of the Epidemic, Spray and Wait and Direct Delivery protocols in 3 scenarios with different dimensions.
