Abstract
Active network is a new approach of next generation network performing computation and manipulations as injecting programs into the network. Because of these features of active network, active technology is being applied to various areas. Current electronic mail service is useful and popular information transmission media through the Internet. But because it delivers mail through the SMTP mail servers without considering the location of sender or recipient’s host, it makes poor performance by generating the redundant network traffic. Therefore in this paper, we suggest Shortest-Path Mailing Service based on active network to solve these problems of traditional mail service. Shortest-Path Mailing Service can reduce the redundant network traffic by transmitting mail to the closest active node from a recipient’s host, Active Mail Manager.
