Abstract

In this paper we present an active, or programmable, packet system, SNAP (Safe and Nimble Active Packets) that can be used to provide flexible, lightweight network management with predictable resource usage. SNAP is efficient enough to support both centralized polling and mobile agent approaches; furthermore, its resource predictability prevents malicious or erroneous agents from running amok in the network.
