HTTP-DTN is an approach to Delay-Tolerant Networking that offers an alternative to the Bundle Protocol. HTTP-DTN is based on using existing commercially-implemented protocols.

HTTP-DTN uses HTTP as a session layer, running in separate hop-by-hop sessions between nodes relaying traffic. HTTP is separated from TCP into its own layer, running over different convergence or transport layers that suit the underlying network and link characteristics.
