FIND-Mobility Workshop BBN Technologies Cambridge, September 27, 2007

2 Workshop Goals Disruption Tolerant Networks –what is DTN? –where is DTN going? –can we establish critical mass to make a difference? how? –a convergence layer to exchange protocols? Bridge the dichotomy between wired and wireless architectures Identify elements to be accommodated in any architecture for aspects of routing, topology, naming and addressing, security, network management, content management Ensure the GENI testing platform does not create this dichotomy -- how? Raise awareness in overall networking community Discuss these issues at a general FIND meeting
