“…Such evolution is particularly important if standard services are not sufficient to express a needed application. The combination of Active Packet and plug-in extension evolution is facilitated by systems such as PLANet [10], ALIEN [1], and SENCOMM [17]. We will demonstrate how this kind of evolution can be used to add multi-hop routing to an ad-hoc mobile network in Section 5.…”

“…[7,23,15] to name a few) although in general the focus has been on code maintenance rather than evolving distributed system functionality. The specific system we are using [11] was initially inspired by the difficulties of crafting a plug-in interface for the packet scheduler in PLANet [10,12]. However, the system itself is not specific or specialized to AN.…”

“…MANE is the logical descendant of our previous AN testbed, PLANet [10], with improvements in a number of areas. MANE is very loosely based on the limited initial prototype described by Hornof [16].…”

“…Thus far there have been numerous demonstrations using AN to customize networks for a specific application's needs (e.g. [21,10,22]) as well as some demonstrations of the use of AN to build network infrastructures from scratch [10]. However, while the key mechanisms are in place in many AN systems, there have been few demonstrations of using AN to facilitate network service evolution.…”

Evolution in Action: Using Active Networking to Evolve Network Support for Mobility

Abstract.A key early objective of Active Networking (AN) was to support on-the-fly network evolution. Although AN has been used relatively extensively to build application-customized protocols and even whole networking systems, demonstrations of evolution have been limited. This paper examines three AN mechanisms and how they enable evolution: active packets and plug-in extensions, well-known to the AN community, and update extensions, which are novel to AN. We devote our presentation to a series of demonstrations of how each type of evolution can be applied to the problem of adding support for mobility to a network. This represents the most large-scale demonstration of AN evolution to date. These demonstrations show what previous AN research has not: that AN technology can, in fact, support very significant changes to the network, even while the network is operational.

“…The code can be transported by specialised signalling channels (programmable networks) or within special packets called "capsules" (active networks). Capsules might contain the code itself (such as in [4]) or a reference to it, such that it can be downloaded when the first capsule containing the reference arrives at a given node (such as in [5]). This allows us to program the nodes in a much more flexible and dynamic way than with the current network technologies such as IP or ATM.…”

Adaptive applications over active networks: case study on layered multicast

In this paper we study the potential and limitations of active networks in the context of adaptive applications. We present a survey of active networking research applied to adaptive applications, and a case study on a layered multicast active application. This active application is a congestion control protocol that selectively discards data in the active routers, and prunes multicast tree branches affected by persistent congestion. Our first results indicate that active networks can indeed help such an application to adapt to heterogeneous receivers, with a minimum amount of state overhead, equivalent to that of a single IP multicast group.
