Abstract — In this paper we present a cooperative video streaming application running on top of an “Information Centric Network ” (ICN). The application could be used on mobile devices to offload the cellular radio interface. We demonstrate our application in a test-bed exploiting the CCNx software implementation of an ICN, the VideoLan tool and the Apple HTTP Live Streaming format
