Composing Active Services in NetScript
D. Florissi, Yechiam Yemini · 1998
NetScript is a high-level programming language and environment for developing active network services and protocols. Programs written in NetScript can be deployed in nodes of an active network to dynamically extend their functions as needed. This paper presents an overview of NetScript and describes the three forms of composition that it supports: 1) composing active elements to form new protocols and services that are interoperable with existing protocols; 2) composing active elements to provide end-to-end services and functions; and 3) composing active elements to extend existing protocols with new capabilities.
