Abstract:
This document provides a problem statement for non-realtime
communication between systems that are generally disconnected, which
require multiple network hops between source and destination, and
which may never be fully connected end-to-end at any given time.
This document describes a number of use cases that motivate having a
standard method to communicate between such systems, as multi-
organization and multi-vendor support and interoperability is highly
desirable. These use cases include dismounted soldiers, sensorwebs,
medical devices, animal tracking, low-Earth-orbiting satellites and
data mule scenarios. To avoid confusion in terminology when trying
to focus on the problem and requirements without bias towards
particular technical solutions, at this time, we refer to the
protocol instances that would support such communications as Store,
Carry, and Forwarding (SCF) agents, and refer to their activity as
SCF networking. The concepts involved in SCF networking are not
entirely new and several facets of the problem have been solved in
multiple incompatible ways in existing or historic systems. This
document describes the core SCF problem and gives an assessment of
the ability to use existing technologies as solutions.
