ACM HotMobile 2013 Demo: Mobile ICN Applications for an Event with Large Crowds

摘要

Large crowds at popular public events often create a high load on the cellular network infrastructure. Operators dimension their networks based on regular demand, and do not want to spend more than is needed for typical peak-loads in one location. The NetInf architecture for information-centric networks and its benefits over IP networks is apparent in this scenario. In this demo, the operation of Netlnf and its benefits are shown through a Netlnf service API and applications running on Android devices, combined with a backend Netlnf infrastructure.
