Abstract

AMnet provides a framework for flexible and rapid service creation. It is based on Programmable Networking technologies and uses active nodes (AMnodes) within the network for the provision of individual, application-specific services. To this end, these AMnodes execute service modules that are loadable on-demand and enhance the functionality of intermediate systems without the need of long global standardization processes.Placing application-dedicated functionality within the network requires a flexible signaling protocol to discover and announce as well as to establish and maintain the corresponding services. AMnet Signaling was developed for this purpose and will be presented in detail within this paper.
