STUDY OF THE PACKET TRANSMISSION OF HIERARCHY MANAGEMENT MODEL BASED ON ACTIVE NETWORK

Active network is a new framework where network nodes not only forward packets, but also perform customized computation on the packet flowing through them. It provides a programmable interface to the user where users dynamically inject services into the intermediate nodes. However, the traditional prototype of network management does not accommodate to the management of active networks, it cannot utilize the distributed computing capabilities that active networks provides. This paper analyses the structure and mechanism of the active network management system, introduces a pattern of active network management, and studies the structure, management mechanism and studies the structure, management mechanism, design outline and each connection of the management system. The paper also studies the network topology discovery and traffic.
