Abstract	The DTN architecture and protocol specifications developed in the IRTF provide a platform for communication in challenged networking environments. The delay and disruption tolerant messaging service is inherently asynchronous in nature and generally used by specifically developed applications, e.g., to exchange data between intermittently connected nodes. Intermittent connectivity is also experienced by mobile users as they usually cannot rely on being always connected in a wireless environment — and thus will also benefit from a disruption-tolerant networking infrastructure. This paper explores applying the DTN architecture to interactive access to Internet services based upon HTTP as non-trivial example and discusses the protocol requirements, analyzes performance implications, and discusses issues with DTN as a communication substrate.
