Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting a file via a communications network predicts a location where a destination node will be at upon arrival of a message unit relayed via the network. An intermediate node is selected for relaying the message unit between a source node and the destination node in response to the predicted location of the destination node. The apparatus may include a location prediction processor and a relay node selector.
