A heterogeneous peer-to-peer network testbed

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a heterogeneous peer-to-peer network testbed, which is developed as part of a joint research project to investigate novel resource discovery and content distribution protocols in a heterogeneous wired/wireless environment. We describe the testbed requirements, the testbed architecture, the multi-functional wireless node, and the software architecture. We also describe some of the proposed protocols to be developed and tested on the testbed.
