ACTIVECAST

Abstract

The Activecast project, with the support of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Material Command, US Air Force, under agreement number F30602-99-1-0514, has developed programmable network services to improve the scalability and usability of networks in general. Technologies produced by the project are designed to incorporate programmability in a form that could be deployed in the present Internet including: Programmable Any-Multica (PAMcast); Concast and Secure Concast; Ephemeral State Processing and Lightweight Processing Modules (ESP/LWP); and Speccast. In addition, auxiliary technologies have been developed either in support of, or based on these services. In this report we described each service/technology along with its intended use, and the results of any experimental evaluations of the service. Other outputs produced by the project are listed at the end of the report.
