What is Collection of Network Information in Active Networks about?

Collection of information about the state of the network is very important for applications both in active networks and in traditional passive networks. However, the existing methods for the collection and prediction of network state cannot meet the needs of complex and intelligent applications. Active networks provide an environment that supports the injection and execution of application-specified codes in the network nodes, and consequently suggest possibilities for the solving of such a problem. In this article we present a new method for the collection of network state information by describing how active network techniques can be used to collect this information more freely and in a user-specific way. We give also an implementation of this approach to collect network resource information and evaluate it by measurements. By using this method, users can specify both the content and the format of the network resource information that they want to acquire as well as nodes at which they want to gather these information.
