At first, we discuss the application of P2P streaming in the scenario of mobile networking. Then, the system and software architecture of our prototypical implementation is elaborated. In addition, an initial field test to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach is presented. Finally, we report our insights arising from the practical experience with Android.
