Project Description
Mobile devices such as phones, PDAs, laptops and cameras are becoming
wirelessly connected to the internet. The Walkabout system provides the
architecture to allow these devices to efficiently transfer large files while
mobile. It uses a peer-to-peer network overlay along with proxies at network
connection points to build a store and forward network that allows devices
to take advantage of brief connection time whenever encountered in order to
transport large files.
