Abstract

We present here a methodology for programming active networks in the environment defined by our new language PLAN (Packet Language for Active Networks). This environment presumes a two-level architecture consisting of: 1. active packets carrying PLAN code; and 2. downloadable, node-resident services written in more general-purpose languages. We present several examples which illustrate how these two features can be combined to implement various network functions.
