The SwitchWare Project Active Network Research at Penn and Bellcore Active networks explore the idea of allowing routing elements to be extensively programmed by the packets passing through them. This allows computation previously possible only at endpoints to be carried out within the network itself, thus enabling optimizations and extensions of current protocols as well as the development of fundamentally new protocols. Welcome to the SwitchWare home page, describing the Active Networks research effort underway in the Penn Department of Computer and Information Science and Bellcore as well as pointers to related material.

Q: What is myNetWatchman? A: myNetWatchman collects, analyzes and reports malicious access attempts to ISPs, who can then take action against the offending machines. [Back to top] Q: How does it work? A: A small client-side application runs as a background application on your system; reading your firewall logs, and creating near-real-time reports that are relayed to the myNetwatchman servers for analysis.
