Active Virtual Network Management Prediction

Abstract

Abstract : In active networking, applications cannot only determine the protocol functions as necessary at the endpoints of a communication path, but can also inject new protocols into the network for the network nodes to execute on their behalf. The nodes of the network, called active nodes, are programmable entities. Application code executes on these nodes to implement new protocols and services. This project has designed, prototyped, and experimentally validated a prediction mechanism that uses the new capabilities of active networks to add prediction to network management, known as Active Virtual Network Management Prediction (AVNMP).
