一种基于移动Agent的主动网络体系结构

1.引言随着Internet的发展,网络应用和网络用户的行为更加多样化。流行的TCP/IP网络体系结构已经不能适应网络通信技术发展和Internet服务拓展的需要。然而现有的网络体系不可能被完全替代,一种可行的方法是对其升级并保持向下兼容,主动网络是一种较好的途径。通过对互操作层次特性做根本性变化,主动网络能提供一个软件可编程的范例,允许中间网络节点完成动态网络定制,避开冗长的标准化过程,实现网络技术的快速发展和服务应用的快速引进,并改善网络计算能力和功能。

An Active Networks Architecture Based on Mobile Agent

This paper proposes an active networks architecture which supports both integrated and discrete operation model based on mobile Agent technology. Mobile Agent is the component for customized function transferring, active node provides software application layer, and Agent server processes mobile Agent specific customization. For development and deployment of specific application protocol, this paper also proposes an abstract protocol framework and a protocol loading mechanism to enhance network performance.
