I am seeking a mechanism for reliable delivery of large blobs through a network of occasionally-connected hosts that can forward the blobs using available transport protocols. I can't find it, though. Most of the networking materials I can find deal more with immediate-transmission networks, where the destination host is reachable at the instant that the source host transmits. (This isn't a catenet.) If anyone knows of such a common or standardized system, please drop me a note. And if there's not already such a system, then we'll just have to make one. --- Mark R.
