A Comprehensive Comparison of some Popular Routing Protocols in Delay Tolerant Networks

Following the conception of Delay Tolerant Networks for interplanetary communication in the year 2003, there has been considerable amount of research in this field, which has been modified to work in terrestrial networks. As such new researchers feel overwhelmed when they start research in this field. This paper tries to simplify the domain of routing protocols in DTN and makes it helpful to new researchers.  This paper surveys some popular routing protocols in Delay Tolerant Network and presents a comprehensive comparison between them for easy perusal by new researchers in this field. The simulation has been done using the widely accepted ONE simulator.
