Realising Adaptive Distributed Internet Operations on Active Networks
Abstract
This is the final report for the DARPA funded Radioactive Project, covering the period July 1999 - December 2003. There were three objective of the project. The principal one was to demonstrate use of IPv6-enabled Active Services at natural boundaries between network technologies; this was to be Application level Active Network (ALAN), as distinct from the other Active Networking technologies under the DARPA programme. The second objective was to investigate various technologies - in particular mechanisms for providing Quality of Service (QoS). The third was to support the International Collaboration Board (ICB), of which Prof Kirstein has been the Chair throughout the period of this project%; in this context considerable work was done in providing IPv6-enabled VPNs in a manner suitable for deployment in the ICB environment. Each of these is considered in turn. As part of the DARPA Active Networks programme, the contractors were encouraged to collaborate with others on the programme to make joint demonstrations. The principal demonstration pursued under the first of the above objectives was for demonstrating IPv6-enabled interactive multicast, wide-area, multimedia conferencing over the Xbone as developed by Joe Touch in the Dynabone project. This was demonstrated at the DANCE meeting between intercontinental-separated sites.
