Description
Summary:Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an evolving concept. There are many emerging researches focused on MANET aspects such as routing and caching. Among them, the lack of efforts done on MANET web caching is acknowledged. "iCache" is a web data caching protocol implemented to be deployed on MANETs that use Better Approach To Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (B.A.T.M.A.N.) routing protocol. The iCache protocol implementation is for both Linux and Android platforms. Authors use Wi-Fi as the underlying technology for the MANET creation. iCache is a novel protocol that uses nodes in the MANET cooperatively in order to cache web data such as images, web pages, etc. The test statistics show that the iCache protocol significantly reduces response delay and thus improves data availability for web applications in MANETs. As the ultimate outcome; iCache preserves MANET resources considerably, such as Internet bandwidth usage.
