  1. Application-Level Active Networks Presented at Dublin Breakfast Briefing, 29th June 2001 Immo Hüneke Technical Architect, Wireless Internet

  2. Enabler for rapid network service creation / deployment standard languages automated device configuration Intelligent alternate-path routing (e.g. satellite down-link, “scatternet” configurations) Intelligent caching (e.g. specialised XML conversion) Content format conversion on the fly (e.g. video -> stream) Dynamic content (e.g. localised advertising) XML-policy-based management support, mobility support (including incremental code mobility) Active Network Benefits Application-Level Active Networks

  3. Possible Applications • Transcoding Web content • Smart Caching • Multicast • Bridging • Reliable multicast • Link-by-link compression • Active Web pages • Information filtering • Alternate-path routing • QoS • Security • Security proxies • Personal profiles for mobile users Application-Level Active Networks

  4. Differing Interpretations • USA • DARPA-sponsored • Concentration on intelligent packet routing • Europe • ESPRIT-sponsored • Concentration on distributed processing • Programmable Networks • Application-Level Active Networks • Proxylets Application-Level Active Networks

  6. Active Services Networks • Programs supplied by the users of the network • Those programs will run on equipment owned by the operators • Users have access to custom services that will be managed by them without the operators’ intervention • Management system needs to be as lightweight as possible • Packet redirection based on “active” tag in transport header or MIME type in application header Application-Level Active Networks

  7. ANDROID Architecture Application-Level Active Networks

  8. Active Server Architecture • Based on the ALAN architecture • Multiple execution environments are allowed to run on each active server • Each execution environment is allowed to run one or more proxylets • Each proxylet runs on its own Java virtual machine and can consist of more than one Java threads • The management system manages locally the resources consumed by the proxylets and execution environments • Thread resource consumption needs to be managed by application providers or the users themselves Application-Level Active Networks

  9. ALAN ComponentsAvailable Today • Execution Environment • Dynamic Proxy Server (DPS a.k.a. FunnelWeb) • Proxylet API • Support Code • launcher • mon • errorPrint • Examples • control • tcpbridge • audio transcoder • Java radio Application-Level Active Networks

  10. Internet Example: Aircraft Services 2Mbps 64Kbps Application-Level Active Networks

  11. ALAN Framework(basic – Fry et al) Application-Level Active Networks

  12. ALAN Framework(enhanced – Pias et al) Added: security module (policy server) Application-Level Active Networks
