Abstract
Existing research into active networking has addressed the design and evaluation of programming environments. Testbeds have been implemented on traditional operating systems, deferring issues regarding resource control. This paper describes the architecture, resource models and prototype implementation of the Resource Controlled Active Network Environment (Rcane). Rcane supports an active network programming model over the Nemesis Operating System, providing robust control and accounting of system resources, including CPU and I/O scheduling, and garbage collection overhead. It is thus resistant to many classes of denial of service (DoS) attack.
