Abstract

In this paper, we argue that pervasive applications need to be aware of and adaptive to network conditions. We begin with an overview of three software projects in which we are currently involved, and highlight network awareness and application adaptability as a common thread among them. We argue that these features stem from the fundamental architectural principles of the Internet. We generalize our experience and elaborate on the principles for developing network awareness and adaptable applications.
