A hybrid routing protocol may be provided. A disruption tolerant mechanism may be provided for analyzing a network, detecting a disruption between nodes of the network, and activating a disruption tolerance mechanism in response to the network disruption. The disruption tolerance mechanism may comprise designating a non-disrupted network node as a cache node and routing traffic addressed to the disrupted node to the cache node for storage. Once the disrupted network node recovers from the disruption, the cache node may deliver the stored traffic to the disrupted network node.
