Hi All,

I am using the IBR-DTN to demonstrate simple file transfer in my experiments.

Setup: A cross section of my network looks like this:

              Opportunistic contact                      Opportunistic contact

NodeB<--------------------------------------->NodeU<---------------------------------------->NodeG

NodeU moves between NodeB and NodeG to make opportunistic contact. For each contact NodeU pauses for 5-10 seconds.

I have configured prophet with the following parameters in all three nodes.

### prophet configuration ###
#prophet_p_encounter_max = 0.8        #affects how strong the predictability is
                                      #increased on an encounter
prophet_p_encounter_first = 0.7      #the predictability of a neighbor on the
                                      #first encounter
prophet_p_first_threshold = 0.1      #lowest predictability when neighbors
                                      #predictabilities are forgotten
prophet_beta = 0.9                   #Weight of the transitive property
prophet_gamma = 0.999                #Determines how quickly predictabilities
                                      #age
#prophet_delta = 0.01                 #(1-delta) is the maximum predictability
prophet_time_unit = 1                #time unit in seconds
prophet_i_typ = 120                 #typical time interval between two node
                                      #encounters
#prophet_next_exchange_timeout = 120  #timeout how often handshakes should be
                                      #executed
prophet_forwarding_strategy = GRTR   #The forwarding strategy used GRTR | GTMX
#prophet_gtmx_nf_max = 30             #Maximum times to forward in the GTMX
                                      #strategy

For each node contact, I expect that the predictability map will be exchanged via call to the dtn://NodeName.dtn/routing service, and bundles will be transferred suitably.

Problem:
* For many contacts (given the above mobility assumptions), NodeU does not seem to discover NodeB/NodeG. I assume that discovery has happened, if I see a "New node available" string in the log file.

* Even for contacts where NodeU seems to have discovered the other node, Predictability map does not seem to be exchanged. A partial log file has been attached, where NodeU seems to have discovered NodeG (at the first beacon exchange itself), but they do not seem to exchange their predictability maps.

Am I configuring anything wrong with respect to prophet ? Also, I see a "summary vector of <node eid> is expired" in log every 60 seconds for some nodes. Please help.

I have attached the following: a) ibrdtn config file for NodeB; b) ibrdtn config files for NodeG and NodeU (same file); c) Portion of NodeU.log
