Abstract :
We present a method for predicting delivery time of bundles in space internetworks. The bundle delivery time estimation (BDTE) tool exploits contact graph routing (CGR), predicts bundle route, and calculates plausible arrival times along with the corresponding probabilities. Latency forecasts are performed in an administrative node with access to an instrumentation database (DB) appropriate for statistical processing. Through both analysis and experimentation, we demonstrate that estimates of bundle earliest plausible delivery time and destination arrival probabilities can be provided.
