Okay got a quick read. I would say kinda? Its a store and forward system, but I think its important to point out that not building DTN protocols from scratch here, just the rules around naming conventions for a userbase I have in mind.

Would you be interested in learning more?
Yes, sure
So these posts are my thought process behind why I started going in this direction

This is a video series on NASA's HDTN which they use for satellite communication where the next hop won't show up until certain orbital paths align

They changed the name from ION to HDTN. Gave me trouble trying to find the most up to date software.
This is another DTN implementation I've been playing with. Thinking about the different tradeoffs of the implementations so I can think about the most effective real world use.
And yeah when I'm done I'm thinking of setting up a post office address to receive DTN packets and forward (for a limited time) not because that's too useful, but just because it might get people interested in it and maybe one of those people ends up supporting a country with ID requirements to use the internet and/or censorship or power outages or what have you.
