Low cost and powerful processors are being used in an increasingly large number of devices embedded into objects surrounding us. While the challenge of creating meaningful services for these systems is constantly being addressed by various simple applications, the communication between these systems is most often scaled down to local exchanges of information, typically over a unique, homogeneous type of a wireless environment. It is expected that when every single system (whatever its size, power constraints or communication range) is enabled to use TCP/IP networking and to establish both client-server and end-to-end peer communications, a whole new range of distributed applications becomes possible.
