Novel Internet applications demand global availability of complex
services that can adapt dynamically to application requirements. At
the same time, pervasive Internet usage and heterogeneous access
technologies impose new challenges for service deployment. We
present Spontaneous Virtual Networks (SpoVNet), a methodology that
enables easy development of new services with transparent support
for mobility, multi-homing, and heterogeneous environments. This
article presents the overlay-based architecture of SpoVNet that
supports the spontaneous deployment of new services as well as a
seamless transition towards future networks. SpoVNet´s architecture
offers support for the underlay aware adaptation of overlays by the
use of cross-layer information. In the context of two exemplary
services like a group communication service and an event service as
well as two demanding applications a realtime online game and a
video streaming application we illustrate how SpoVNet is of value in
establishing services and applications for the Next Generation
Internet.
