Information-centric routing for opportunistic wireless networks

What is it about?

DABBER is a data-centric routing protocol developed to support data exchange in opportunistic wireless environments. DABBER relies on data reachability metrics that take into consideration availability and centrality of adjacent nodes, as well as the availability of different data sources. The poster provides an overview to the DABBER architecture, and of the available open-source implementation.

Why is it important?

DABBER is one of the few routing protocols supporting multi-hop data communication in intermittently connected, device-to-device communication environments. It relies on context-awareness to best select next hops to route information, thus following a data-centric routing approach, instead of a hop-count routing approach.
