In traditional message ferrying schemes, only message ferries carry messages between partitioned networks. In this paper, we propose a new approach to make both finite-buffered c ferries and mobile nodes carry messages so that we reduce message delivery delay and increase throughput in delay tolerant networks. We evaluate our scheme against conventional message ferrying in terms of message delivery delay and throughput.
