AWANTA (Adaptive Software-Defined Wide Area Network framework for Telehealth Access) performs inter-domain network transfers for telehealth, in a network latency-aware manner.
The Measurements Client is based on RIPE Atlas and RIPE Atlas Tools. It assumes existing RIPE Atlas credits acquired by hosting a probe locally or through credits transfer from someone who has accumulated some credits themselves. Then configure the RIPE Atlas Tools, which is a Python-based library. The Measurements Client builds on top of the RIPE Atlas.
A decentralized cloud router in all the client nodes.
Propagates the changes in measurements as events to a broker.
The Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Controller builds on top of Ryu.
