Active Networking
Active networking is a communication pattern that allows packets flowing through a telecommunications network to dynamically modify the operation of the network.
It also consists of active hardware, capable of routing or switching as well as executing code within active packets.
Active network architecture is composed of execution environments (similar to a Unix shell that can execute active packets), a node operating system capable of supporting one or more execution environments. It also consists of active hardware, capable of routing or switching as well as executing code within active packets. This differs from the traditional network architecture which seeks robustness and stability by attempting to remove complexity and the ability to change its fundamental operation from underlying network components. Network processors are one means of implementing active networking concepts. Active networks have also been implemented as overlay networks.
Active networking is an approach to network architecture with in-network programmability. The name derives from a comparison with network approaches advocating minimization of in-network processing, based on design advice such as the “end-to-end argument”. Two major approaches were conceived: programmable network elements (“switches”) and capsules, a programmability approach that places computation within packets traveling through the network. Treating packets as programs later became known as “active packets”. Software-defined networking decouples the system that makes decisions about where traffic is sent (the control plane) from the underlying systems that forward traffic to the selected destination (the data plane).

FAQ's
What is your tech support like?
What are the support hours? Are they level 1 (L1) technicians, or are they L3 and understand complex systems? How many calls or escalations does it take before you get a resolution? You should have a good understanding of how the company has performed at handling past issues before they’re handing yours.
All icon support experts are trained level 3 technicians and walk you through step-by-step troubleshooting 24/7 no matter how small the issue.
Are speeds guaranteed?
There’s a reason you see “up to” beside listed speeds on an advertisement. When choosing your internet provider, make sure you read the fine print and understand what speeds you can realistically expect. Don’t get caught off guard after you’ve already signed. Icon fibre internet is a dedicated connection, so when we say 1000 mbps symmetrical, we mean 1000 mbps symmetrical.
Do you have a Service Level Agreement (SLA), and if so what is it?
An SLA outlines a company’s quality commitment. Network expectations like downtime, latency, and jitter are addressed to ensure performance levels are met. If your revenue is dependant on connectivity, you want to feel confident that you’re getting a reliable connection. Icon offers an industry-leading 99.99% SLA, so your business is assured performance and guaranteed uptime.
What is your Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)?
In the event of an outage, how long will it take the internet service provider to get your network back up and running? For comparison, typical DSL connections take 24-48 hours to repair. Unfortunately, many companies will only tell you how long it takes before you get a response – never mind a resolution. Icon has a 4-hour MTTR in the unlikely event that your business experiences downtime.
Where is your support team based?
Make sure you aren’t going to waste time on hold for a technician that can’t walk you through every step of the way. Icon “no-holds” tech support is Indian-based and works with you each step of the way. No more waiting on hold; as soon as you call we’ll start fixing your problem.
Are there any other fees?
Installation costs, gateway costs, cancellation fees, and any cross-connect fees may be hidden in the fine print. Before signing a contract, be sure you’re aware of the cost breakdown. Icon is proud of our transparent billing practices.
Can issues be resolved remotely?
Though technically an add-on, you can save your IT team a lot of headaches by letting your ISP manage your router, connectivity, failover and more. Icon provides a full suite of managed services so you can leave the work to us.
