Abstract
AMnet provides a framework for flexible and rapid service creation. It is based on Active and Programmable Networking technologies and uses active nodes (AMnodes) within the network. These AMnodes execute so called service modules to make user tailored data streams available to individual receivers. This paper focuses on the goal of AMnet to design a platform for AMnodes which is shaped for efficient execution of flexibly loadable service modules.
