—Routing in delay-tolerant networking concerns itself with the ability to transport, orroute, data from a source to a destination, which is a essential ability all communication networksmust have. Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are categorized by their absence of connectivity, causingin a absence of sudden end-to-end paths. In these challenging environments, popular ad hoc routingprotocols such as AODV and DSR fail to establish routes. This is due to these protocols trying tofirst create a complete route and then, after the route has been established, forward the real data.However, when instantaneous end-to-end paths are difficult or difficult to establish, routing protocolsmust take to a “store and forward” approach, where data is incrementally moved and storedthroughout the network in hopes that it will ultimately reach its destination. A common procedureused to make best use of the chance of a message being successfully transferred is to duplicate manycopies of the message in hopes that one will succeed in reaching its destination. In this paper I havesurveyed some of the useful routing protocol in delay tolerant network.
