In looking at this a little bit it makes sense to add some URLs to this thread.

There is a working group....
Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group

     http://www.dtnrg.org/wiki

On that link is a comment that may be apropos:
    "....the need to provide interoperable communications with and
among extreme and performance-
    challenged environments where continuous end-to-end connectivity
cannot be assumed."
may well apply to a local mesh of XOs and also for a school and town
as well as the community itself.
