contents This report aims to conduct an in-depth comparison of DTN (Delay/Disconnection Tolerant Network) performance and characteristics in the developing country of Barbados versus two major UK cities Nottingham and London. We aim to detect any common patterns or deviations between the two region areas and use the results of our network simulations to draw well-founded conclusions on the reasons for these similarities and differences. In the end we hope to be able to assimilate specific portions of the island to these major cities in regard to DTN characteristics. We also want to investigate the viability of DTN use in the transport sector which has struggled from a range of issues related to efficiency and finance, by recording and analysing the same metrics for a DTN that consists of only buses. This work is intended to serve as a bridge for expanding the breadth of research done on developed countries allowing other researchers to be able to make well informed assumptions about how that research may apply to developing nations. It will consist of results that show graphical trends and analysis of why these trends might exist and how they apply to real world scenarios.
