| Abstract | This paper studies Internet protocols and services which is currently server based and which show good potential to be distributed to client terminals. Server based services require installation, operation and maintenance. A finite upper limit on the number of servers leads to potential performance bottlenecks. There are environments and situations in which server infrastructure is not available. Client-only based services enable terminal manufacturers to deploy new services fast and flexibly to the customers without depending on the operator server infrastructure investments. As research material we use Internet trace statistics, Sourceforge application categories and popularity, available popularity rankings of Internet services and a literature study of distributed services. The methodology employed is to model the network as a single-hop adhoc WLAN network, which has only terminal clients of equal capabilities and which does not have any external connectivity to the public Internet or any other infrastructure network. The services which technically work in this adhoc WLAN environment can also be extended to the public Internet by taking the advantage of peer-to-peer or other overlay networks. The services are evaluated based on their use case, if there are alternative solutions providing the same service, and according to the technical feasibility in mobile devices. For each selected potential distributed service solution the requirements are defined and the related research problem is stated. If a known solution exists, it is described and evaluated. The common building blocks needed for the service distribution are described based on the service solutions of the selected services. Finally, the main gaps on the path towards fully distributed service provisioning are identified. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
