Data synchronization in Ad Hoc mobile networks

Intermittent connectivity and dynamic network topology create unique challenges for distributed applications in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), where individual entities may produce data at any time while moving around continuously. In this poster, we present DDSN, a distributed dataset synchronization protocol in Named Data Networking (NDN) that enables applications in MANETs to keep all members in an application group synchronized on the latest state of a shared dataset. Taking intermittent connectivity as the norm, whenever nodes in the same application group are reachable to each other, DDSN provides an efficient mechanism to unify the shared state and dataset between the encountered nodes.
