Introduction to the ASP Execution Environment (Release 1.6)

Abstract

The ARP (Active Reservation Protocol) project at ISI is developing an active networks framework for the implementation and deployment of complex network control-plane functions, such as network signaling and management. However, the techniques being developed should be generally applicable to any programmable network element. This framework is embodied in the ASP Execution Environment (ASP EE), which supports the dynamic installation and execution of active applications (AAs). The ASP EE and its AAs are expressed in Java byte code, which provides a (nearly) platform-independent encoding that supports dynamic loading of AAs.
