Abstract
We add a simple policy-based control component to mobile hosts that enables them to control the continuous reception of live multimedia content (e.g. A TV broadcast) while they switch between different distributors of that content. Policy-based control
provides a flexible means to automate the switching behavior of mobile hosts. The policies react to changes in the mobile host’s environment (e.g. when a hotspot
network appears) and determine when and how to invoke an earlier developed application-level protocol to discover the capabilities (e.g. supported encodings)
of the content distributors and to execute the switches.
The design of the control component is based on the IETF policy model, but extended and applied at the application-level instead of at the network-level. We
implemented the system and deployed it in a smallscale test bed.
