Abstract

We present a unified, extensible data-centric mobility infrastructure based on declarative networks and composable distributed views over network, router, and host state. Declarative networks are a recent innovation for building extensible network architectures using declarative languages. The data-centric approach both improves flexibility over existing solutions, and is extensible to meet the demands of future mobile applications and services. We demonstrate the flexibility of distributed queries used in declarative networks by specifying and implementing mobile services, e.g., overlay-based solutions for host mobility, customizable routing, service discovery and composition, and location-based services. A prototype based on the P2 declarative networking system has been implemented, with which we evaluated two overlay-based mobility schemes (ROAM and DHARMA).
