What is dtn meaning?

DTN stands for Delay-Tolerant Networking. It is a network protocol and architecture that allows communication in networks where connectivity is intermittent or unreliable. DTN was developed to support communication in situations where communication is challenging due to factors such as limited bandwidth, high latency, or frequent disconnections. DTN uses a store-and-forward approach where data is stored at each hop until the next available connection is made. This enables communication to occur even in situations where direct communication is not possible. DTN has applications in areas such as space communications, disaster response, and rural internet connectivity.
