  3. Presentation Outline • Active Networks Background & Key Issues • IST Projects Overview • FAIN IST - 10561 Project • Summary & Conclusions

  4. Background • Active Networks is about programming the network infrastructure as support of customised communication services • Active = dynamic programmability and control • Customisation = user/consumer centric network and services • Store - Compute - Forward • Expected major impact : rapid service creation and deployment

  5. Main Issues - Previous Attempts - Service Creation • Intelligent Networks ( 18 years of R&D) • TINA ( 7 years of R&D) • TMN ( 15 years of R&D) • Very Complex • User’s control was not included • Standardisation cycles very long • Very few new Communication Services • Management is detached from networks

  6. Active Networks Background • Active Networks • Store - Compute - Forward • Level of abstraction / standardisation • Programming model • Programmability of network resources ( communication, processing) -middleware • Programmability at the application layer & down : across the transport, network, data link and physical layers

  7. AN Background • Traditional location of intelligence and control • Internet - in end-systems applications ( end-to-end issues) • Telecom- in networks, centralised control with the operator • Technology changes • Distributed OO, intelligent mobile code/agents • Convergence • Signalling controlled by customers • QoS provision in Internet (intserv, diffserv)

  8. AN Introduction / Issues • Applications’ demand for customised communications • Application is aware of network semantics ( QoS, “real-time” and location) - the network becomes a dedicated resource of applications • Network is aware of applications • Management of QoS in IP Networks • Dynamic management ( in service) • Distributed between users and owners • Application and Service models • What resources ( abstractions, APIs) • What models for execution, code distribution

  9. AN Introduction / Issues • Management Solutions • From customised Net Management ( static, configurable) towards programmable Net • Passive Networks • Store - Forward • Level of abstraction /standardisation : protocol • No control by users

  10. Active Management Model • Network supports management services • Dynamically configurable Business Objects communications services • Dynamically configurable Work Flow management Engines -integration with service & network management, processing management and information management via dynamic brokerage • The application includes the business level management solution ( owned by the customer) - includes Work Flow components

  11. Active Networks Impact • Facilitate the infrastructure innovation ( eliminate standardisation of protocols) • Customers / Consumers Relationship • Dynamic network reconfiguration without operator intervention • Customer control of Network & services • Network Service Providers • Partitioning of network resources and services • Customised management & value added services • Legacy network infrastructure can co-exist • Application Developers • Non-standardised components can be used • Lightweight applications on top of services offered by the network

  12. Active Network Impact • Augmented Performance by Combining Communication & Information Processing Power • Packet Data Processing on the way to destination and on-the-fly ( by Active Nodes) • Rapid Deployment of Services • Service components can be injected at the right-place at right-time • Flexible Customisation of Services • Services can be tailored according to packet data as well as packet header

  13. AN Architectures • OPENSIG - Programmable Networks in telecom oriented approach • Opening up the switches • Modelling communication hardware using open programmable network interfaces • Emphasis on service creation with QoS • Open interfaces allow service providers to manipulate the network via middleware toolkits • IEEE P1520 Project follows this approach ( standardise programming interfaces for ATM switches, IP routers & mobile networks)

  14. AN Architectures • DARPA Projects - a diverse approach • Manly focussed on IP routers / IP networks where control and data paths are combined • An approach which mode dynamic that OPENSIG’s semi-static network programming interfaces • Range of approaches: • A single packet ( capsule) modifies the behaviour seen only by that packet • A single packet boots a complete software environment seen by all packets arriving at the node. • MIAM I AC208 Project - Active Connectivity Service - based on Mobile Agents
