....and security have made it worthwhile to investigate network programming interfaces that allow code to be downloaded into routers within the network and invoked by the packets passing through them. At the current time there are at least a dozen AN prototype architectures under development [34, 8, 22, 2, 19, 35], a few of which have released software. Our SwitchWare perspective was first described in [16] and has been considerably refined as we gained deeper insight into active networking. It was the first active network prototype to be publically released, and is implemented largely in the Caml [12] ....
....security policy language and certificate retrieval mechanism. Most of the SwitchWare source code and papers can be found on the WWW home page for the project: www.cis.upenn.edu switchware. 2 SwitchWare Architecture SwitchWare is based on a three level architecture which is described in detail in [2]. The three layers are depicted in Figure 1. At the top level, there are lightweight mobile programs that fit within a packet, which we call active packets. We have experimented Network Active Packets Active Router Infrastructure Active Extensions Figure 1: SwitchWare Layers with both PLAN ....
