Abstract.
The success of experiences such as Seattle and Houston Wireless
has attracted the
attention on the so called wireless mesh community networks.
These are wireless multihop networks spontaneously deployed
by users willing to share communication resources.
Due to the community spirit characterizing such networks, it
is likely that users will be willing to share other resources besides
communication resources, such as data, images, music,
movies, disk quotas for distributed backup, and so on.
In other words, it is expected that peer-to-peer applications will
be deployed in such type of networks. For full paper: please contact me (Elena.Renda_AT_iit.cnr.it).
