Tamanoir-IBP: adding storage to active networks

Abstract

Active networks are a promising way to develop new services for data transport, but active routers could also store "on the fly" streams of data for high level services such as Web cache and reliable multicast. In this paper we describe the merging of active networking with distributed storage solutions. We focus our approach on two dedicated frameworks : the IBP suite and the Tamanoir execution environment. We describe the overall architecture of the Active Logistical Storage suite and present first experimental results.
