ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus relating to a cross-layer approach for virtualized overlay on ad hoc networks are described. In one embodiment, a virtual address is used to search for a (key,value) pair in a virtual overlay. In an embodiment, a route request for a virtual address, corresponding to a key, is transmitted via a wireless network to one or more of a plurality of computing nodes forming a virtual search overlay and route reply for the virtual address is generated in response to the route request. Other embodiments are also described.
