Opportunistic networking represents a promising paradigm for support of communications specifically in infrastructureless scenarios such as remote areas communications. In principle in opportunistic environments we would like to make available all the applications thought for traditional wired and wireless networks like file-sharing and content distribution. In this paper we present a delay-tolerant scenario for file sharing applications in rural areas where an opportunistic approach is exploited. In order to support communications we compare two peer-to-peer P2P schemes initially conceived for wireless networks and prove their applicability and usefulness to a DTN scenario where replication of resources can be used to improve the lookup performance and the network can be occasionally connected by means of a data mule. Simulation results show the suitability of the schemes and allow to derive interesting design guidelines on the convenience and applicability of such approaches. 1. Introduction Opportunistic networking has attracted the interest of researchers in the last .
