A Dynamic-Reconfigurable Architecture for Protocol Stacks of Networked Systems
Mahdi Niamanesh, Rasool Jalili · Proceedings - International Computer Software & Applications Conference · 2007
This paper proposes a software framework for dynamic- reconfigurable protocol stack The framework presents mechanisms and an algorithm for all required phases for reconfiguration of a running protocol component that include freezing the component in a safe state, changing the component, and state transfer to a new component. Considering that every running protocol component communicates with at least one peer component in another system, we perform the reconfiguration with respect to the peer component.
