This enables rapid customization of the network and provides a mechanism to adapt the network to a changing environment. We describe the implementation of a prototype active network that is implemented in Java. We also illustrate the use of active networks to provide enhanced services at both the network and application levels.","PeriodicalId":143696,"journal":{"name":"1998 IEEE Open Architectures and Network Programming","volume":"01 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127242318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
