Active Networks (ANs) represent a new paradigm of computer network, which will enable new Internet applications and services and improve end-to-end performance of the existing ones. However, ANs being an emerging technology, there is still a significant lack of tools for the design and evaluation of active network protocols. In particular, network simulators have proven to be very valuable tools and they have been widely used in the Internet research community. In this paper, we present a novel extension for the well-known network simulator ns to incorporate AN support. Our solution is versatile yet powerful, providing a consistent framework for researchers to design and evaluate active protocols. |
