• Routing in the SITA Network - part 2: DTN Phase 3 Routing (474.7 KB)  
  338 downloads since then.

  When the DTN was implemented in the early 80's, it used the same routing as the HLN: this was the DTN Phase 1. Then I worked on studying, defining and specifying a new routing algorithm for the DTN, which was implemented as DTN Phase 3 Routing. Phase 3 routing brought performance improvements as well as an easier management of the routing tables. This is the story I am telling here.
