DTN protocol implementation in OMNET

[Osman Khalid]

I want to implement a DTN routing protocol using OMNET INETMANET. A source mobile node should send a packet that should be received by a destination mobile node. However, the packet must be carried, stored and forward by the intermediate nodes of sender and receiver, whenever the nodes come into each other communication range. 

I have seen the example given in: examples -> adhoc -> ieee80211. How should I start modifying it? I understand that in mobile adhoc network case, we cannot implement the transport layer functionality, as transport layer requires a fixed topology, that is not possible in my case. Also the existing routing protocols for sensor nodes require fixed nodes. How should i proceed?

You can start by applying one of Ad hoc routing protocol such as DSR,
OLSR, DYMO ... Then you can modify one of this routing protocol to
enable carry & forward strategy. You can find the src code under src
folder in inetmanet.

What about multipath routing... ?

Sorry i couldn't understand what you want to say about multipath routing. Can you please explain a little?

hey , i've been working on a similar thing. can you tell me how you approached this?
