Abstract

Delay-Torelart Networking becomes a rapidly developing network technology in the area of Challenged Networks. Research community has made significant progress towards developing a set of protocols that enhance the reliability and efficiency of DTNs. Despite the broad acceptance of DTN architecture, there is not yet any reliable testing tool that could become the reference point of DTN protocol developers. In this context, we develop a testing tool called “DTN Traffic Generator - DTN-tg” that will be useful for every developer in the DTN area. DTN-tg generates multiple sessions of constant bundle rate traffic, allowing the testing and validation of any intermediate DTN node or a number of interconnected DTN nodes.
