ABSTRACT
Opportunistic networks are one of the most interesting extensions of the legacy mobile ad hoc network (MANET) concept. Legacy MANETs are composed by mobile nodes that collaboratively set up a network plane by running a given routing protocol. Therefore, the-sometimes implicit-assumption behind MANETs is that the network is well connected, and nodes’ disconnection is an exception to deal with. Most notably, if the destination of a given message is not connected to the network when the message
