Some of the uses cases are for space applications where you can predict or schedule the availability and capacity of "links" (radio, optical)

Even though the current routing protocols have no difficulty to treat unpredictable/unscheduled changes on links?

This gets sort of merged with DTN (Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking.)

I have been saying that DTN is a reinvention of UUNET. As such, it should be noted that, in UUNET, availability of phone links between computers was scheduled. Masataka Ohta
