Abstract
Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) can be characterized by high delays and disconnections between the participating nodes. Despite these characteristics, DTN needs network management features similar to those found in conventional networks such as, for example, latency monitoring in message exchanges. One of the approaches commonly used for such monitoring is the use of standardized protocols for active measurements, such as, for example, the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP). However, protocols like TWAMP are not prepared for DTN because they consider conventional network environments, such as the Internet. This paper describes the Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (DTWAMP), a proposed extension for TWAMP which enables the execution of active measurements in DTN. In addition, experiments were performed to evaluate the proposed solution. The results demonstrate that DTWAMP has desirable properties to perform monitoring tasks in DTN.
