Abstract
We propose WASP (lightweight and World-friendly Active packets for ephemeral State Processing), a new active platform based on Ephemeral State designed to allow bytecode interpretation on programmable datapath elements. We designed WASP to be a good compromise between flexibility (e.g. offering solutions in quality-adaptive multimedia flows, service discovery or mobility support) and safety (i.e. protection of router and network resource).
