“…In this section, we will evaluate the cost of providing security to the active network inside a typical Internet scenario, composed of 15 routers, four of which are Active Routers, with an average end-to-end delay of 60ms 1 . We will state the following additional suppositions: average packet size 512B; average active code size 2KB and all Active Routers modify active packets (so they must compute HMAC twice, one time to verify the received packet and another time to send the packet).…”

Abstract. Active network technology enables fast deployment of new network services tailored to the specific needs of end users, among other features. Nevertheless, security is still a main concern when considering the industrial adoption of this technology. In this article we describe an open security architecture for active network platforms that follow the discrete approach. The proposed solution provides all the required security features, and it also grants proper scalability of the overall system, by using a distributed key-generation algorithm. The performance of the proposal is validated with experimental data obtained from a prototype implementation of the solution.

“…There are currently three main application domains for programmable NIs, which can be roughly categorized into Server NI software, Web Switching software [1], and Active Networking software [15,18]. The first two are product niches in their own right and are driving the development of programmable NIs.…”

The rapid advancements of networking technology have boosted potential bandwidth to the point that the cabling is no longer the bottleneck. Rather, the bottlenecks lie at the crossing points, the nodes of the network, where data traffic is intercepted or forwarded. As a result, there has been tremendous interest in speeding those nodes, making the equipment run faster by means of specialized chips to handle data trafficking. The Network Processor is the blanket name thrown over such chips in their varied forms. To date, no performance data exist to aid in the decision of what processor architecture to use in next generation network processor. Our goal is to remedy this situation. In this study, we characterize both the application workloads that network processors need to support as well as emerging applications that we anticipate may be supported in the future. Then, we consider the performance of three sample benchmarks drawn from these workloads on several state-of-the-art processor architectures, including: an aggressive, out-of-order, speculative super-scalar processor, a fine-grained multithreaded processor, a single chip multiprocessor, and a simultaneous multithreaded processor (SMT). The network interface environment is simulated in detail, and our results indicate that SMT is the architecture best suited to this environment.

Abstract. This paper focuses on active networks applications and in particular on the possible interactions among these applications. Active networking is a very promising research field which has been developed recently, and which poses several interesting challenges to network designers. A number of proposals for efficient active network architectures are already to be found in the literature. However, how two or more active network applications may interact has not being investigated so far. In this work, we consider a number of applications that have been designed to exploit the main features of active networks and we discuss what are the main benefits that these applications may derive from them. Then, we introduce some forms of interaction including interference and communications among applications, and identify the components of an active network architecture that are needed to support these forms of interaction. We conclude by presenting a brief example of an active network application exploiting the concept of interaction.
