Simply because MTCP was the only protocol with a draft designed for the then new bundle protocol v7, the regular TCP CL was not even in draft state when we started implementing dtn7. |

Our
dtndhas support for other convergence layers as well, and you can choose a different one, e.g.,tcporhttp, or implement some yourself if you need different ones.We are always open for contributions :)
