Commercially viable active networking

Active Networking is a new technology receiving significant attention from the research community. To this point, however, it has not been examined from the perspective of commercial viability. This paper presents an analysis of active networking issues with a view to its possible uses in a commercial environment. It then describes a prototype system built to address these issues.
