Actually, I think it's fair to say that most DTNs are *TCP*/IP based - and most use of the bundle
protocol has been over TCP.

Greetings,

I am still quite new to this list and DTN. I had a few really quick questions:


 1.  What is currently being used for FEC (Forward Error Correction), if any?
 2.  If there is already work being done is there anyway to do testing against vs a different FEC method?
 3.  Is most DTNs IP based?
