Being involved somewhat in DTN, I'm here to tell you that the RFC 5050 bundle protocol is a steaming pile of crap. It desperately needs updating to stop trading off minuscule numbers of bytes saved in transmission for ridiculous pain in actually parsing and storing bundles. Oh, and the security drafts. Don't get me started on the security drafts. DTN is nowhere near a mature and well formed technology yet.
