Abstract
Logistical Networking is the global scheduling and optimization of data movement, storage and computation based on a model that takes into account all the network’s underlying physical resources. In this paper we contrast Logistical and Active Network as approaches to flexible implementation of advanced network protocols. We describe the Internet Backplane Protocol, a simple mechanism we have devised for experimentation with Logistical Networking, and describe some applications which can take particular advantage of way that Logistical Networking exposes resources directly as network services.
