Description: Active Network is a concept that refers to a network infrastructure that allows dynamic changes in its behavior based on the data being transmitted through it. This adaptability is achieved through network function virtualization (NFV) and the implementation of network operating systems that enable efficient traffic management and optimization. Active networks can modify their characteristics, such as bandwidth, latency, and quality of service, in real-time, making them highly flexible and scalable. This adaptability is crucial in environments where traffic demands can vary drastically, such as in cloud computing, streaming services, and telecommunications networks. The Active Network is based on the idea that the network is not just a simple transport medium but an intelligent environment that can proactively respond to the needs of users and applications. This translates into a significant improvement in operational efficiency and user experience, allowing organizations to optimize their resources and provide more personalized and higher-quality services.
