1   Introduction

PLAN version 3.2 is implemented in OCaml, version 2.02. While this document attempts to be as implementation-independent as possible, certain aspects are implementation dependent, and will refer to OCaml as necessary. An earlier, Java-based version of PLAN (2.2) is also available and has its own documentation suite.

This document should serve as a basic guide and reference to PLAN programming. Please see the PLAN grammar [6] for syntactic details, our design paper [3] for rationale, and [5] for details on the Active Network we have built using PLAN, called PLANet.
