What is Drop Less Known strategy for buffer management in DTN Nodes about?

Certain kinds of delay and disruption tolerant networks need the human support to send data between users without a contemporaneous end-to-end path between them. However, humans are socially selfish and tend to cooperate with whom they have a social relationship, fact that affects the overall performance. Memory space is a critical resource on mobile devices, and since the intermediate nodes have to store the messages, buffer management strategy becomes a crucial factor to achieve a satisfactory network performance. Very little attention has been directed towards applying the social characteristics of the users to mitigate the congestion in DTN. This paper presents a buffer management strategy for DTNs that takes into account a value associated with the social relationship strength among the users. We evaluated this policy in conjunction with the Epidemic and PRoPHET routing algorithms. By means of a thoroughly planned set of steady-state simulation experiments, we found that the proposed scheme can increase the delivery rate besides decreasing the average delay.
