Lack of flexibility of current Internet architecture led researchers to
come up with new paradigms for a novel Internet architecture, which would be
able to reduce complexity and increase flexibility compared to current Internet
architecture. Functional co
mposition is a promising approach to flexible and
evolvable architecture design. The idea is composing complex protocol suites
by dynamically bind
and arrange different functions to obtain certain behavior.
Herein, we present the implementation of a contex

aware network architecture
based on functional composition for smart objects.
A sub

testbed using different network topologies
