4.6 Practical Implementation - Application Layer

Practical implementation guide for application layer

Services & Applications to Test for Mesh Compatibility :

There are many services and tools available in the present day internet, which can easily work with Mesh Network. Most of them are distributed in their DNA. While some are tailored to design with Mesh network and distributed nature. Forth coming applications/services in near future are developed with Mesh and Distribution as aspiring properties of it.

The Services/Applications which we have to Test for Mesh & Distribution compatibility are :

To Test :

  • WIKI – Wikipedia/Dokuwiki
  • Yacy – Distributed Search Engine
  • Media Publishing – Mediagoblin, Piwik, Book Type
  • Community Radio, PodCasting – AirTime, IceCast
  • Journalism – Journlism ++, LiveBlog
  • File Sharing – Open Torrents, IPFS, GNU-Net
  • Web building – ZeroNet
  • Social Networking (Chat, Share….) – Retroshare, Movim
  • Discussion, Polls, Organization – Crabgrass, Discuss
  • Games – Open Arena, 0.A.D, PyChess
  • ServalMesh
  • Qual.net
  • Ind.ie
  • Tox
