Active networking in environments built to support link rates up to several gigabits per second poses many challenges. One such challenge is that the memory bandwidth and individual processing power of the router's microprocessors limit the total available processing power of a router. In this article we identify and describe three components, which promise a high-performance active network solution. This implements the key features typical to active networking, such as automatic protocol deployment and application specific processing, and it is suitable for a gigabit environment. First, we describe the hardware of the active network node (ANN), a scalable high-performance platform based on off-the-shelf CPUs connected to a gigabit ATM switch backplane. Second, we introduce the ANN's modular, extensible, and highly efficient operating system (NodeOS). Third, we describe an execution environment running on top of the NodeOS, which implements a novel large-scale active networking architecture called distributed code caching
