“…Therefore, Section 5.1 will present a broad discussion over varying degrees of network testing and analysis how each existing work stacks up against the criteria developed in Section 1. From there, an analysis will be presented on two projects which have a close relation to the goals of the Goliath framework, the The Genesis Kernel (Campbell et al, 1999) and the VINI Project (Bavier et al, 2006). Finally, the last section will present a discussion over some of the weaknesses in the Goliath framework where future work would be most beneficial to the growth of the Goliath framework while not harming the light-weight structure and extension and plugin oriented method of expansion.…”

Abstract. We argue that currently developed software frameworks for active and programmable networking do not provide a truly generic approach to the development, deployment, and management of services. Furthermore, current systems are typically targeted at a particular level of the programmable networking design space (e.g. at low-level, in-band, packet forwarding; or at high-level signaling) and/or at a particular hardware platform. In addition, most existing approaches, while they may address the initial configuration of systems, neglect dynamic reconfiguration of running systems. In this paper we present a reflective component-based approach that addresses these limitations. We show how our approach is applicable at all system levels, can be applied in heterogeneous hardware environments (specifically, commodity PC-based routers and network processor-based routers), and supports both initial configuration and dynamic reconfiguration. We especially address the latter point; we show the viability of our approach in (re)configuring services on an Intel IXP1200 network processor-based router.

“…Virtualization of the network in this manner presents new levels of innovation in programmable networks that have not been considered before. All types of network components can be virtualized and made programmable from switches and links [15] to switchlets [33], active nodes [40], routelets [13] and virtual networks [21], [34], [13].…”

“…In [13] we describe spawning networks, a new class of programmable networks that automate the creation, deployment and management of distinct network architectures "on-the-fly". The term "spawning" finds a parallel with an operating system spawning a child process, typically operating over the same hardware.…”
