What is this research?
In the active network research, my goal is to make programmable and virtualized netwroks, i.e., to create networks that each user can program and use as his own network.
Complex computer and communication systems require complex policies. In the policy-based networking research, I studied methods of combining (composing) policies, or I studied component-based policies.
I have also studied methods of (policy-based) QoS guarantee (especially, Diffserv) on IP networks.
