Abstract
A general architecture for Edge services in the IPv6 environment has been developed in several active networks projects. In a series of multimedia, multicast, conferencing projects, it became clear that an edge media adaptation service is needed if the participating networks are heterogeneous. This need became more acute with wireless access to the Internet. This paper describes both the general architecture, and the functionality of the components, to achieve active edge services. It considers also how the IPv6 functionality assists in setting up a generic service, which may be of interest to wireless operators.
