Challenge Overview
The Office of Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) at NASA Headquarters leads the Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) investigation with the goal of advancing the maturity and heritage (space flight use) of the DTN communication protocols.
DTN is an approach to computer network architecture that seeks to address the technical issues in heterogeneous networks that may lack continuous network connectivity.
This deployment assembly is responsible for installing and configuring DTN2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dtn) on Amazon EC2 virtual machines. The virtual machines must talk to each other using DTN send and receive commands.
DTN2 is the name for a reference implementation of the DTN protocols. For more information about DTN2: http://www.dtnrg.org
