  ABSTRACT: We present an overview of our work in applying disruption tolerant networking technology to the US Marine Corps CONDOR (C2 on-the-move network digital over-the-horizon relay) project, a near-term framework for extending and bridging tactical data networks that are partitioned, for instance, by distance or terrain features. A portion of the CONDOR system involves deploying mobile platforms that can use satellite links when terrestrial radio networks are out of range, in order to maintain situational awareness and connectivity to tactical data networks and applications. Disruption tolerant networking technology leverages the work of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRC). We discuss our plan to enhance CONDOR with products of the DTNRG. present a proof-of-concept demonstration that incorporates DTNRG software into CONDOR field-prototype payload hardware, and discuss application design considerations for operation in a networking environment prone to disruption

  ABSTRACT: Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a critical application in military networks for maintaining situational awareness and conducting battle management at all echelons. But these networks are often subject to frequent disconnections, limited bandwidth, and long delays, especially when using satellite services and field radios. Such conditions are inhospitable to TCP, and thus the standard IRC protocol, which uses TCP for transport. In this work, we have applied the emerging Delay Tolerant Networking architecture to IRC to assist operations in challenged networks. Using the Delay Tolerant Networking Research Grouppsilas (DTNRG) Reference Implementation of the Bundle Protocol, we have developed a transparent proxy for server-to-server IRC connections that encapsulates IRC messages over Bundles and performs application-specific services useful in disruption-prone conditions.
