Programmable Networks for IP Service Deployment
Alex Galis, Spyros Denazis, Celestin Brou, Cornel Klein · 2004
Programmable networks have been proposed as a solution for the fast, flexible, and dynamic deployment of new network services. Programmable networks are networks that allow the functionality of some of their network elements to be programmable dynamically. These networks aim to provide easy introduction of new network services by adding dynamic programmability to network devices such as routers, switches, and applications servers. This book focuses on the research results in programmable network.
