We consider a delay tolerant network, with mobile nodes modelled as performing independent random walks on a graph. We compute the mean time to convey a message from a mobile source to a fixed destination on the graph, via mobile relay nodes adopting a two-hop relay protocol. The complexity of computing the mean delay is high in a large network. Therefore, we propose two low complexity methods to...
