Abstract :
The paper presents the design and evaluation of an active router (AR) architecture, which provides flexibility for the development of future network services. The hardware is based on a personal computer with 2GHz, Intel P4 processor. The designed AR depends on the use of Windows OS, enhancing the active network encapsulation protocol (ANEP) and the efficient use of C++ programming. Windows OS and C++ language are rarely used in such projects due to complexity of kernel-mode and network-oriented programming requirements. Enhancing ANEP gains novel service composition scheme. Finally, the success of the AR architecture and prototype implementation is evaluated by means of a practical application.
