INTRODUCTION
The ASP EE is an execution environment for active-networks.  This
README file contains references where you can find more complete 
information on the various aspects of the EE. 

This release contains all Java and C code that implement the ASP EE.
The interface that the EE exports is described in the "Writing an Active
Application for the ASP Execution Environment" document that can be found
in docs/PPI.ps.  A document that describes the ASP EE more generally
is in docs/ASP_EE.ps.  These documents are also available from the web
page http://www.isi.edu/active-signal/ARP/.


OPERATION
The EE can be used as part of an A-BONE node.  More information on 
the A-BONE is available on http://www.isi.edu/abone/. 

The EE can also be used for private research, that is, not part of 
the A-BONE.  This operation is suitable for debugging code before
running it on the A-BONE.  Some details for setting up topologies
is given in docs/programmers-guide.ps.


REQUIREMENTS
All packages have been tested on the following platforms:
JDK 1.1.8 on Solaris, FreeBSD and Linux.
