Re: Large-datagram hop-by-hop delivery mechanism
This system is called UUCP :) --vadim
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.

to the original poster: as much as people like to laugh about UUCP, it still works. UUCP over TCP/IP should do the trick. why not? if you expect that it is often likely that there will be _no_ routed path between source and destination hosts, and that queue-next-closest-available is what you want, i'd say UUCP is exactly your solution. smtp has way too much of what you don't need. steve.

Third-ed. UUCP still works. At my previous place we used to sync the RADIUS servers by having the write-only-master (yes!) send updates to the Ascend facing RADIUS servers. They were never out of sync for more than a couple of second when the network was OK. In case you run an OS that has something old and creepy, look at Taylor-UUCP (ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ last time I looked).
