Delay-/Disruption- Tolerant Networking (DTN) aims to enable communications in the so called “challenged networks”, where long delays, disruption, link intermittency and other challenges prevents the use of the ordinary Internet architecture. Because of these challenges, and the heterogeneity of possible applications scenarios, ranging from InterPlanetary Networks to the Internet of Things, the evaluation of DTN performance is a complex task.

In the chapter its characteristics and use are presented in detail, but also in a modular way to allow different layers of reading (i.e. technical details are present, but can easily skipped by the reader more interested in DTNperf_3 use). DTNperf_3 supports DTN2, ION and IBR-DTN bundle protocol implementations, is released as free software and is included in ION.

Abstract
Delay-/Disruption- Tolerant Networking (DTN) aims to enable communications in the so called “challenged networks”, where long delays, disruption, link intermittency and other challenges prevents the use of the ordinary Internet architecture. Because of these challenges, and the heterogeneity of possible applications scenarios, ranging from InterPlanetary Networks to the Internet of Things, the evaluation of DTN performance is a complex task. To cope with this complexity, it is necessary to develop suitable tools, powerful and flexible at the same time. This is the aim of DTNperf, now at its third release, called DTNperf_3. In the chapter its characteristics and use are presented in detail, but also in a modular way to allow different layers of reading (i.e. technical details are present, but can easily skipped by the reader more interested in DTNperf_3 use). DTNperf_3 supports DTN2, ION and IBR-DTN bundle protocol implementations, is released as free software and is included in ION.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
