Abstract: alien: A Generalized Computing Model of Active Networks David Scott Alexander Jonathan M. Smith Active Networks are networks whose actions may be changed during operation either by introducing new code into the routers (active extensions) or by executing code contained in a packet passing through the switch (active packets). This ability to make changes is expected to ease deployment of new or modified protocols, allow support for uncommon protocols, ease network experimentation, and improve... (Update)

...functions are carefully regulated to ensure that these properties hold. For further discussion of why we chose strong typing, see [2]. Garbage collection supports strong typing. If an active program can explicitly deallocate memory using a function like free( the chunk...
