论文摘要
网络管理社区已探索和利用光，铜和几种无线光谱（包括声学），作为传输控制或数据流量的媒介。同时，最终用户（可穿戴）设备正在探索触觉技术，而触觉互联网仅被用作隐喻。但是，据我们所知，除了极少数例外和较小的范围范围的项目外，振动在很大程度上被视为网络通信媒体。在本文中，我们在创建和优化试点测试台的同时分享了经验丰富的经验教训，该试验台是探索振动定义的网络的廉价起点。我们证明了振动的可行性（但尚未可扩展性），作为一些网络管理机制的工具，例如弹性，物理层安全性，以及一种为视觉障碍（VI）的人教授网络概念的创新方法。通过证明如何进行振动，我们向社区提出了一些可能产生多个应用程序的开放问题。
The network management community has explored and exploited light, copper, and several wireless spectra (including acoustics) as a medium to transfer control or data traffic. Meanwhile, haptic technologies are being explored in end-user (wearable) devices, and Tactile Internet is being used merely as a metaphor. However, with rare exceptions and for smaller scoped projects, to our knowledge, vibration has been largely untouched as networking communication media. In this paper, we share the lessons learned while creating and optimizing a pilot testbed that serves as an inexpensive starting point for the exploration of vibration-defined networking. We demonstrated the feasibility (but not yet the scalability) of vibrations as a tool for a few network management mechanisms, such as resiliency, physical layer security, and as an innovative method for teaching networking concepts to individuals with visual impairments (VI). By demonstrating how vibrations could be programmable, we propose to the community a few open problems that could generate several applications.
