GAIN: Global Active IP Networks

GAIN is an NSF-sponsored project in coordination with the European FAIN (Future Active IP Networks) Consortium. The GAIN participants aim to leverage existing experience with active networks to provide consultation and guidance in the development of FAIN. The FAIN project goals are:

The project aims to develop an open, flexible, programmable and dependable (reliable, secure, and manageable) network architecture based on novel active node concepts. The network architecture will be validated by deploying and exercising interoperable active IP network nodes, in order to support new business models of network control and management and a wide range of distributed applications as envisioned in the future information society. It proposes a new generic architecture for active networks with an innovative integration of active networking, distributed object and mobile agent technology. The architecture will be validated and evaluated in Pan-European trials with international links to USA. The project will present key recommendations and guidelines for EU policy.
