Monitoring Systems White Papers

Active and Programmable Networks

Overview Driven by advances in underlying technologies, increasing acceptance of computing and middleware paradigms in telecommunication networks, and a need to accelerate network innovation, network researchers are exploring new ways for network routers, switches, and base stations to be dynamically programmed by network applications, users, operators, and third parties.

Network elements such as program controlled-switches have been programmable for some time but not in the dynamic manner proposed by the current work. Active and programmable networks seek to exploit advanced software techniques and technologies in order to make network infrastructure more flexible, thereby allowing users and service providers to customize network elements to meet their own specific needs.
