Charlie,
Regarding anthropomorphisms to avoid, they include:
detect
reaches
hears
The term you should be using is "can transfer an IP datagram to".
Regarding other things to consider before assuming this is a new problem:
L2VPN
DTN (which is more than about delay)
if your delays/disruptions are brief enough,
that's covered by existing dynamic routing
...
Well, in [manet] we are dealing with routers to establish multihop
connectivity between endpoints.
That's an L2VPN.
At the L2VPN layer, you're using L3 to transit L2 between disconnected
islands of reachability. L2 frames between those islands are carried
inside L3 packets that go over L2.
When you run IP over that, IP thinks it's a single L2 subnet.
---
(to repeat) In order to claim there's something worthwhile here, you
need to explain how what you're doing hasn't already been addressed in
existing RFCs.
