A Content Adaptation Network using SelNet

The Internet today shows a constantly increasing number of hosts with more and more disparate capabilities. This leads to a growing need of content adaptation services, which are able to respond to different client capabilities. In order to make such services relatively straight forward to deploy, this paper suggests a framework which uses SelNet, a network architecture that is based on a virtualized link layer with explicit indirection support, as the infrastructure for the content adaptation network. We discuss the implications of such a framework and report on implementation progress.
