Policy-based networks can be customized by users by injecting programs called policies into the network nodes. So if general-purpose functions can be specified in a policy-based ne...
The primary goal of active networking is to increase the pace of network evolution. The approach to achieving this goal, as well as the goal of enhancing customizability, is to al...
This paper presents the main concepts of the IST Project FAIN "Future Active IP Networks" [10], a three-year collaborative research project, whose main task is to develo...

This paper aims to provide insight into the behavior of congestion control mechanisms for reliable multicast protocols. A multicast congestion control based on active networks has ...
A novel approach to quality of service control in an active service network (application layer active network) is described. The approach makes use of a distributed genetic algori...
Recently, active networks have been highlighted as a key enabling technology to obtain immense flexibility in terms of network deployment, configurability, and packet processing. E...
