Abstract: 1 Overview Current network devices enable connectivity between end systems given a set of protocol software bundled with vendor hardware It is impossible for customers to add software functionality running locally on top of network devices to augment vendor software Our vision is to open network devices so that customized software can be downloaded, allowing for more flexibility and with a focus on industry and customer specific solutions This brings considerable value to the customer

A survey of active network research
TL;DR: It is illustrated how the routers of an IP network could be augmented to perform such customized processing on the datagrams flowing through them, and these active routers could also interoperate with legacy routers, which transparently forwarddatagrams in the traditional manner.
Exokernel: an operating system architecture for application-level resource management
Dawson Engler,M. F. Kaashoek,James O'Toole +2 more
- 03 Dec 1995
TL;DR: The prototype exokernel system implemented here is at least five times faster on operations such as exception dispatching and interprocess communication, and allows applications to control machine resources in ways not possible in traditional operating systems.
Architectural considerations for a new generation of protocols
David D. Clark,D.L. Tennenhouse +1 more
- 01 Aug 1990
TL;DR: This paper identifies two new design principles, Application Level Framing and Integrated Layer Processing, and identifies the presentation layer as a key aspect of overall protocol performance.
Extensibility safety and performance in the SPIN operating system
Brian N. Bershad,Stefan Savage,Przemysław Pardyak,Emin Gün Sirer,Marc E. Fiuczynski,David Becker,Craig Chambers,Susan J. Eggers +7 more
- 03 Dec 1995
TL;DR: This paper describes the motivation, architecture and performance of SPIN, an extensible operating system that provides an extension infrastructure together with a core set of extensible services that allow applications to safely change the operating system's interface and implementation.
A reliable multicast framework for light-weight sessions and application level framing
Sally Floyd,Van Jacobson,Steve McCanne,Ching-Gung Liu,Lixia Zhang +4 more
- 01 Oct 1995
TL;DR: An adaptive algorithm that uses the results of previous loss recovery events to adapt the control parameters used for future loss recovery is demonstrated, and the reliable multicast delivery algorithm provides good performance over a wide range of underlying topologies.
