Did you consider rechartering dtnrg ?

It seems to me that there is research needed in predictable routing flaps.
Most routing protocols today assume that failures are random.

There is some work in RPL (RFC6550) as related to 6TISCH (TSCH) where
channels come and go already, but that is multiple times/second vs multiple
times/hour.
