Abstract

This paper presents au approach to extend OSGiserver based home networks with JXTA's peer-to-peer (PZP) technoIogy to a mzdti-server home environment connecting multiple private home networksto one true virtual environment for communication,media sharing/exchange, and distributed device control. We elaborate on the basic integration methodology and extend it to a general, security preserving, architectural concept based on a two level integration concept for inhome and interhome networks.The integration is achieved through additional OSGiservices for the management of virtual devices, peer-to-peer communication, and authentication. The example of a Quality of Service based video streamingmanagement demonstrates one of the potential advanced application for which peer-to-peer can be usedin addition.
