Abstract
A communication device in a communication network and method for communicating between two or more different devices in the communication network. One implementation includes a means for storing for each (source, destination) pair of communication devices of the communication network, paths in the form of lists of (LD, EA) pairs, where EA is an earliest arrival time to a first communication device and LD is a last departure time from a second communication device for any sequence of contacts between pairs of communication devices linking the source communication device and the destination communication device. Data is transmitted to another communication device by a node selected using a history of observed previous observed paths.
