OLSR based peer to peer instant messaging for Ad-hoc networks

Instant messaging is one of the most popular applications on the Internet. Furthermore, we assist to the emerging of Peer to Peer systems based on a decentralized architecture. These systems share similarities with spontaneous Ad-hoc networks. The crossing of the Ad hoc networks and the Peer to Peer systems opens a field of possibilities for new spontaneous collaborative applications such as the instant messaging. In this work, we propose a Peer to Peer instant messaging system for Ad-hoc networks based on the IETF work in progress. This will guarantee the opening and the viability of the system.
