Abstract
A method for communications optimization includes receiving a request, by a network controller, for transmitting communications traffic from a first communications device to a second communications device. The communications traffic includes a particular traffic volume. The method also includes configuring, by the network controller, a plurality of nodes in a communications network using software-defined networking (SDN) to form a single logical switch for transmitting the communications traffic from the first communications device to the second communications device in response to receiving the request for transmitting the communications traffic. The communications network is configured for Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN).
