neat. do you have practical applications in mind, or is this solely focused on infrastructure?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] DTN Delay-/Disruption- Tolerant Networking on Maemo Linux-based OS
 

Yeah, in general DTN has a lot of application areas (military, neural/sensors network, space research, etc), but porting it to Maemo, in telecommunication wireless mobile world, has as goal to reduce the costs of implementation of this technology from big research centers to costumer level.

A simple application in Maemo world could be, for example, "data-mule": Bytewalla project experiment (site here: http://www.tslab.ssvl.kth.se/csd/projects/092106/), performaced on android mobile phones, is based in this idea.

In presentation of project we can read:

The idea of my research group @ University of Bologna (Italy) is to valorize the presence of 3G interface in N900 device and to create new scenarios of development. More information here: http://cnrl.deis.unibo.it/.
