Neighborhood-Aware Networking
The volume of data generated and consumed in the home is increasing
rapidly. This wealth of data introduces the opportunity for new
applications and services, but these potential innovations depend on
fast and efficient mechanisms for transfering data to, from, and within
the home. Although residential network connectivity to the Internet is
relatively constrained, homes have one significantly untapped resource--
wireless connectivity. Residential 802.11 networks have much higher
capacity than broadband connections, providing an alternative, fast
distribution medium between homes in a neighborhood. This project seeks
to harness the existing (and growing) wireless connectivity in the
neighborhood to design and implement new network and application-level
protocols and services that are "neighborhood-aware."
