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.
