Under DARPA funding, ISI is performing two research projects applying concepts and techniques of active networking to network control and signaling protocols.
ARP
The ARP (Active Reservation Protocol) project is developing a Java-based active network Execution Enfvironment (EE) within which network control and signaling code can be dynamically deployed and executed. The result will be:
ACC
The ACC (Active Congestion Control) project is applying the environment developed under the ARP project, to explore the use of active networking to improve the performance of a reliable feedback transport protocol such as TCP.
Slides from a recent presentation on ARP and ACC are available in Postscript.
