Thanks, It means dtn can use either tcp or udp? Yes i am working but still not succeeded in getting simulation done in ns2. Surely i'll share with u if found any.

I understood that it is for dtn, which select particular interface according to the application's transport protocol....for tcp tcp convergence layer, udp..udp convergence layer. Means this convergence layer does a kind of preparation as per the requirement of routing protocol. I mean to say that like if one application is running using TCP connection,,,,anf if DTN routing should be followed then it will choose tcp convergence interface to prepare bundles accordingly and then any DTN routing mechanism will be applied on those bundles. At this point in time...use of tcp convergence layer is to provide reliable communication or it signifies some other information. I hope you understand my problem and can help me in getting into it. Thanks in advance, Ranjana
