Abstract
We present a novel approach to building and deployingnetwork protocols. The approach is based on mobile code,demand loading, and caching techniques. The architectureof our system allows new protocols to be dynamicallydeployed at both routers and end systems, without theneed for coordination and without unwanted interactionbetween co-existing protocols.In this paper, we describe our architecture and its realizationin a prototype implementation. To demonstratehow to exploit our...Keywords
