Delay and/or Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocols are important when dealing with partitioned wireless communication clusters, i.e., when dynamic connections are often broken for longer times than the maximum allowed network latency. In this chapter, the Bundle Protocol with the Store-Carry-Forward paradigm is described and its suitability to underwater acoustic networks is briefly assessed. Furthermore, the possible application of DTN to data muling AUVs (Autonomous Underwater vehicles) is discussed. |
