Delay Tolerant Network is becoming popular day by day as it finds application in various fields. Due to the intermittent connectivity feature of a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), routing here is a challenging issue. The performance of the routing algorithm in this type of network can be increased considerably if one can take advantage of knowledge concerning node mobility. This paper addresses this problem with a generic algorithm based on the use of the existing Minimum Estimated Expected Delay (MEED) and Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP). In this work a technique to send data within a reasonable amount of delay to the destination is suggested. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been successfully demonstrated in a simulated environment.
