Abstract

For network service, it is obvious that “PUSH” method is more efficient than “PULL” method for bandwidth consuming. One problem for “PUSH” method is that the client is difficult to keep track with the status of server. Traditional polling method is bandwidth consuming and put much burden on server. Active link is an active network based service which builds a tree structure between clients and server. Different clients and service can share link information if they have the same middle nodes in the link path. This mechanism can reduce bandwidth consumption and burden of server.
