P2P Overlay Network for Service Deployment in Active Networks

Active networks are an approach in which the nodes of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. Peer-to-peer networks may be characterized by the capacity of the participants to share their own hardware resources (CPU, memory, bandwidth, printers). Combining the technologies of P2P and active networks, this paper presents an innovative concept, the use of a P2P system to enhance the service deployment in an active network
