Floating Car Data (FCD), i.e. traffic and in-car data collected and transmitted by moving cars, is an emerging telematics application providing a range of networked services to the road users. FCD is an example of a large sensor network, whose complexity increases with the number of session participants. The work discussed in this paper is examining how deploying application-specific functions in the network can help in scaling such systems. These functions are chosen to configure on a dedicated device that is commonly called a middlebox. These middleboxes use programmable network processors in order to attain the required processing and forwarding speeds, while communicating with each other and back-end server using standard middleware components.
