Abstract- Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) in routing concerns itself with the ability to route data from source to destination which is the fundamental ability all communication network must have. During the transmission of packets it has the fixed landmark so that only one path can be chosen. It cannot choose the alternative path, that path is considered to be as the best path. To solve this problem, an optimized inter – landmark data routing algorithm, namely DTN – FLOW which chooses the alternative path that is considered to be as the shortest and best path. The DTN – FLOW algorithm not only transmit packet with the use of landmark and inter – landmark. The information message will be performed in all the nodes so the performance of each and every node decreases by means of traffic. In order to increase the high throughput, node to node communication can be done effectively in DTN network. Index Terms – Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), robustness, intermittent, throughput, Ad hoc On – Demand Distance Vector (AODV). ————————— ——————————
1 INTRODUCTION
D
elay-tolerant network (DTN) is an approach to computer network architecture that seeks to address the technical issues in heterogeneous networks that may lack continuous network connectivity. DTN support interoperability of regional networks by accommodating long delays between and within regional networks and by translating between regional network communications characteristics. In providing these functions,
DTNs accommodate the mobility and limited power of evolving wireless communication devices. DTN has the great potential to connecting devices and regions of the world that are presented under served by current networks. Challenge for DTN is to determine the router through the network without having an end to end or knowing which routers can be connected at any instance of time. DTN is a set of protocols that act together to enable a standardized method of performing store – carry – and – forward communications featured by intermittent connection and frequent network partition [9]. Thus, DTN routing is usually realized in a carry-store-forward manner. In those areas they exchange data among or collect data from different areas because DTNs usually exist in areas without infrastructure networks and thereby are good mediums to realize data communication among these areas.

State – of - art DTN routing algorithm exploit either past encounter records, social network properties or past moving paths to deduce a nodes probability of reaching a certain node or area, and forward packets to nodes with higher probability than the current packet holder [8]. The number of nodes with high probability of visiting the destination usually is limited, by only relying on such nodes, previous routing algorithms fail to fully utilize all node movements leading to degraded overall throughput. An inter-landmark data flow routing algorithm, called DTNFLOW, which fully utilizes all node movements in DTN by assuming that there is a popular place in each of the nine subareas. DTN-FLOW then determines landmarks from these popular places and adopts the same subarea division. Each subarea is represented by one landmark. Each landmark is configured with a central station, which is an additional infrastructure with high processing and storage capacity. Then, node movement can be regarded as transits from one landmark to another landmark. The most sophisticated trackers currently commercially – available use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to track position and use satellite uploads to transfer data to a base station [10]. DTN- FLOW utilizes such transits to forward packets from one landmark to other landmark to reach their destination areas. Nodes transiting between landmarks relay packets, even though they rarely visit the destination of the relayed packets.
