主动网络是一种新型的网络体系结构,能够快速地把新协议和新应用引入到正在运行的网络中。由于主动节点具有较高的计算能力。所以能够提供比传统网络更为有效的服务质量路由方案。该文尝试把服务质量路由引入到主动网络中,结合两者优点提出一种基于主动网络的多约束主动路由(MAR)协议。仿真结果表明MAR比目前其它的QoS路由机制更简洁、更灵活、更可控。
Active Networks (AN) are a novel approach to network architecture in which the switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. AN seems to be particularly useful in the context of QoS support. In this paper, an active routing protocol is proposed which is called Mulli-constraints Active Routing(MAR) by introducing QoS routing into AN. Some simulation and analysis prove this protocol is more concise, more controllable, and more flexible than other QoS routing mechanisms at present.
