| With the continuous development of the network, users of the network needs areconstantly changing, when the type of information which request transmission becomemore huge and the require of the QoS become higher while the drawbacks oftraditional networks have become increasingly prominent even limit the furtherdevelopment of the network, which the emergence of Active Networks provides a goodopportunity to solve the problems in traditional network. Active network as a new typeof network node programmable architecture, which the new protocol for the networkand new services development, validation and deployment provides a good support, aswell as provide a new way for network management, service quality control, provisionof reliable multicast, etc.Based on the active network theory in-depth research, and analysis of the ActiveNetwork architecture implementations and proactive network security services, qualitycontrol system, to understand the operation mechanism of Active Network systems,summarizes the main current of active network research. A study of the characteristicsof active network, application and behavior mechanism of the Active Network, ActiveNetwork node architecture and the capsule, and on this basis of the Active Networkquality control system in the security services, the structure, and finally by using theJ-Sim network simulation tool for active networks Simulation of the correspondingfunction. |
