SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING THE ROUTING AND REPLICATION OF DATA IN THE DOWNLOAD DIRECTION IN A NETWORK OF MOVING THINGS

Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for supporting a dynamically configurable communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things). More specifically, systems and methods for managing the routing and replication of data in the download direction in a network of moving things.
