Why do active networks conflict with idea of E2E? -
Answer-They require customization at network nodes (not
simplicity at network core)
(7)
What were the two types of programming models in active
networking? How are thy different? - Answer-1. Capsule
model
- carries in band data packets
- most used in relation to active networking
- code distribution ACROSS networks
- data plane
2. Programmable router/switch model
- out of band mechanisms
- decision-making a job for the NETWORK OPERATOR

- Difference is where the code to execute at the nodes was
carried (7)
What are 4 tech developments that encouraged active
networking? - Answer-1. reduction in computation cost
(more processing can take place in the network)
2. advancement in programming languages
3. advancement in rapid code compilation and formal
methods
4. funding agencies promoted interoperability among
projects
