主动网络的研究与进展

目前的Internet体系结构缺乏一定的灵活性,制约了新协议、新应用的开发与应用.主动网络试图通过为节点赋予计算处理能力来改变这一现状.分析和阐述了主动网络产生的背景与动机,并详细介绍了这一新的网络体系结构,讨论了它对网络体系结构研究带来的影响,总结了主动网络的研究现状,最后结合主动网络的应用和在网络整体行为学研究中取得的阶段性成果,给出了一种有新意的应用实例.

Research and Development of Active Network

The current Internet architecture lacks flexibility. The new network services are always postponed by tedious standardization process. The active network makes change through adding computing to network node. In this paper, the background and the motivation of designing active network are described, the new architecture is presented in detail, its effect on network architecture is discussed, and the current researches about active network are summarized. Finally, combining with the conclusion of network dynamics, a novel application based on active network is put forward.
