Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services

by Syed Asad Hussain

Overview

Most conventional networks are passive, with only basic traffic monitoring, management, routing, and congestion control. At best, they can be called reactive. Deploying new functions and integrating new standards into these architectures is difficult due to the rigid embedding of software and hardware into the network components. Active and Program
