Abstract :
Ambient networks aim at providing new networking solutions to highly mobile users considering a mix of current and future wireless technologies. In the last years, policy-based approaches have been proposed as an effective way of managing large networks, e.g. the IETF policy framework. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of PBMAN, a Policy-based Management Framework for Ambient Networks. PBMAN is based on a P2P infrastructure, aimed at providing scalability and self-configuration features
