| Abstract | Among the emerging technologies in the area of computer networks, Active Network
is a new concept under extensive research. The idea of active network is to make the whole
network active in the sense that packets should carry the code to be executed on the nodes
when required. Also the nodes should be made capable to provide the execution environment
for the active packets. This work is inspired by this notion. There are many network problems
still with no solution and many are do that have the solution but inadequate. Such problems
were studied and three were selected for the study, that how they are harmful to the network
and what solutions exist for them. The problems studied are congestion, server availability and
fragmentation. For their solution, algorithms are given keeping in mind the functionality of
Active Network, especially the PLAN environment for active network. The solution for the
fragmentation problem is implemented as an example just to see the potential of active
network, using the PLAN based over Ocaml in Linux operating system. |
