The Delay-Tolerant Network Research Group is a working group of the Internet Research Task Force, the research sister of the Internet Engineering Task Force standards body. DTNRG originated in discussions surrounding the inadequacies of TCP/IP for deep-space and interplanetary communications, but it has become a focal point for standardizing overlay technologies that address disconnected network environments on Earth as well.
