"Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) is addressed. It is a communication paradigm that enables\r\nthe communication over Intermittently-Connected Networks (ICNs), which are characterized by unpredictable\r\nor scheduled contacts among nodes, high latency, and high bit error rates. DTN exploits storeand-forward\r\ntechniques in order to cope with intermittent link issues. A model is proposed, to compute the\r\naverage packet delivery delay in ICNs. We assume that the inter-meeting time as well as the contact time\r\nbetween any two nodes is an exponentially-distributed random-variable. As a consequence, the behavior of\r\nthe communication between each pair of nodes can be modeled by a two-state Continuous-Time Markov\r\nChain (CTMC). It is assumed that the packet generation process at the source node follows a Poisson process,\r\nso in the analysis one can exploit the Poisson Arrivals See Time Averages (PASTA) property. Both\r\nthe IP-like paradigm used by traditional TCP/IP protocols and DTN are considered. Numerical results and\r\nsimulations are presented."^^ . "2014" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Mario"^^ .
