Say all objects are connected peer to peer with wifi, some of them are
connected to internet through gsm network or wifi to a box. These object
are moving in space, and for some reasons, connections are dynamical and
can be severely impaired or lost.

They have incoming local streams of data (eg HD videos, accelerometer, GPS,
other wifi and gsm signals, etc).

I would like to abstract the CPU layer, storage layer, and internet
connection so that in realtime results of one of my objects are saved if
this object dies, so that if one of the object giving internet access to
the group loose its connection, the redundancy allows the group of object
not to lose internet connection.

Can I consider these as different load balancing layers ? Do you recommend
to implement this at the kernel layer or at an API layer ? Can I see that
as a lightweight cluster ?

I think the API is more flexible, especially if I have an heterogeneous (by
CPU, OS) set of connected object. However, working at the kernel level
allows existing programs not to be rewritten. What are your thoughts ?

Do you recommend another list ?

Thanks
