Abstract

Recently developed networked services have been demandingarchitectures that accommodate an increasinglydiverse range of applications requirements (e.g.mobility, multicast, QoS), as well as system requirements(e.g. specialized processing hardware). This is particularlycrucial for architectures of network systems wherethe lack of extensibility and interoperability has been aconstant struggle, hindering the provision of novel services.It is also clear that to achieve such flexibility thesesystems must support extensibility and re-configurabilityof the base functionality subsequent to the initial deployment.In this paper we present a component modelthat addresses these concerns. We also discuss the applicationof the component model in network processor-basedprogrammable networking environments and discusshow our approach can offer a more deployable,flexible and extensible networking infrastructure.
