1. Implementation of the DTN Overlay and of the Link Layer is well progressed and we expect to complete the integration of the components this year. Similarly, the required policies of the architecture are currently being designed, linking the established requirements and network infrastructure with the application implementation, which is due to start in summer 2012.
