Active Programmable Harness
•We needed two things:
–Collect link and node capacities to find out optimum transcoding points.
–Now set the configuration parameters.
•
•We consequently designed a network local state collection and propagation tool
–User application sends the propagation and synthesis math, the harness takes care of the propagation by 2.5 phase communication.
–A building block for transcoder deployment in a multicast network.
–A generalization of SNMP
•Instead of P2P it is now graph wide.
•Local composition on local MIB2 elements at active nodes.
