Abstract
Active networking enables the rapid creation and deployment of innovative services in the network. This paper describes an architecture to ensure survivability of services in an active network through the dynamic reconfiguration of service components. We enhance the primary-backup protocol used in traditional distributed systems with active networking features that enable programmable selection of the service location and dynamic reconfiguration of the system if the primary service provider fails.
This research is partially funded by the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) under contract F19628-95-C-0215.
