Ticket order service model with active networks

Active networks seek to address the problem of lengthy network service and architecture evolution. Further study indicates that the introduction of active networks offers important opportunities for end-to-end performance improvement of distributed applications such as reliable multicast, self-organizing cache and active congestion control. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture for active networks based on plug-in, with which services can be introduced rapidly and flexibly. We highlight a new trigger mechanism which promises to be more flexible. We also describe a new model for a ticket ordering service over the Internet. The simulation result indicates that with active networks both latency at clients and load on servers are reduced
