Open programmable & active networks: a synthesis study
Spyros Denazis, Alex Galis · 2002
This paper reviews the characteristics and methodologies developed by the programmable network and active network communities as complementary approaches making a significant contribution to the development of new architectures. One such architecture is developed in the IST Project FAIN. FAIN is a three-year project, whose main task is to develop and validate an open, flexible, programmable and dependable network architecture based on novel active node concepts.
