In active networks (ANs) programs can be injected into routers and switches to extend the functionalities of the network. This allows programmers to enhance existing protocols and enables the rapid deployment of new protocols. The main objective of this paper is to show why ANs are ideal in solving the problem of connection rerouting and how current end-to-end based approaches can be enhanced. In this paper we propose a new model called active connection rerouting (ACR). In the ACR model, programs are dynamically injected into switches/routers in mobile networks to facilitate efficient connection rerouting during mobile host (MH) migration. We show how connection rerouting can be performed efficiently within the network. The ACR model uses a two stage optimization process: (i) path extension and (ii) lazy optimization. Unlike previous work on two stage connection rerouting ACR has the following properties: elimination of loops within switches/routers and incremental optimization which minimizes buffer requirements and maximized path reuse. ACR performs well in all topologies. Our experimental results show that ACR is efficient and scalable and it performs well in all topologies.
