Hi Lloyd,
You asked for a description not an opinion and my response was intended to be ironic.
No need to brag, I’m aware who you are and your contributions (thanks!) I watched your video on youtube and took a look at Saratoga some time ago.
To be honest, I’m not sure I have a well formed opinion to share about DTN/BP … yet.
I’m currently working with JPL’s ION.
And yes, I’m aware of uucp and the resemblance, with other crazy ones we started our academic network in my native country (AR) using uucp. For a while I was the uumap admin for that area/domain.
Once again thanks for the references.

Jorge,
So helpful... I asked for your opinion, not for a reference. I thought Joe's description of DTN was pretty accurate.
After over twenty years DTN hasn't really decided on routing, or much else. "Glorified email specified by the bit" would not be that wrong.
I'd describe DTN and the bundle protocol as CCSDS's latest attempt to get onboard with this (to them) newfangled packet networking thing, supplanting their previous CFDP. But to do so, they've had to reinvent packets.
but hey, what do I know?

There are a large number of papers, articles, a couple of books and other publications. Among them RFC-4838.
