Yan Ma, Zhang Xiao-zhen, Xiaomei Liang · Journal of Communication and Computer · 2006
Active network is a novel approach to network architecture. It provides a programmable interface for the users and enables them to dynamically inject services into the intermediate nodes. Basing on the active network technology, we design a new distributed management model. After the comparison of traditional network management and the mechanism of the active network management system, this paper introduces the structure of active node and smart packet, the mechanism of management, the packet formats, the language, the design goals of our model and the security of active network.
