Abstract

As the number of space elements increases, routing becomes an issue of great interest. The majority of routing schemes that have been proposed till now, employ a fairly static design and, only recently, more sophisticated protocols have been introduced. In this study, we evaluate some of the most prominent routing protocols for Delay-Tolerant Networks, Epidemic, PRoPHET and Contact Graph Routing, in space environment. Using COMNET Lab´s DTN testbed, we show that for increasing delay, Contact Graph Routing significantly outperforms the other two routing schemes.
