Hi,
 Is it correct to state that DTN adopts a store and forward mechansim and
gets around delay and disruption by having intermediate nodes retransmit
on failure indication from its immediate neighbor? If this is true is it
correct to state that fundamentally, the problem of disruption in long
delay source-destination pair is not handled, but is solved by
essentially reducing the said distance by having intermediate nodes
storing and forwarding thereby acting as a "virtual" or "proxy" source
and destinations?
 Thanks
Sitaraman
