隨著雲端技術的崛起，能在網際網路上快速的佈建新的服務已成為一個非常重要的議題。因應此需要，近年來，以軟體來客製化網路的功能，動態的支援新興的服務，已成為新的發展趨勢，軟體定義網路(SDN)、主動式網路和可程式化網路架構就是很好的例子。有別於SDN中央型的架構，主動式網路與可程式化網路允許分散式網路服務的開發和佈建，改善SDN中央式服務佈建的缺點。然而，如何有系統的在主動式網路與可程式化網路架構中佈建網路服務仍是有待解決的議題。本論文提出元主動式網路架構（簡稱YAN），它整合上述兩種網路架構。YAN可以讓使用者動態的將私有的或非標準的通訊協定佈建到網際網路上。我們將服務佈建分為三個階層的需求，應用層、網路加值層，通用網路服務層，並提出一個XML描述語言ASDL，統一定義每一個階層的服務，明確地指出這些服務如何被佈建。用上述的技術，本論文提出兩個服務佈建案例，網路服務，SAR和NAR兩個主動式的服務品質保證路由服務，與一建構在應用層的多媒體服務PVCoS，以描述YAN的運作。本文利用ASDL描述檔來同時定義和佈建點對點的服務，稱為Profile-based E2ES(end-to-end Service ) Deployment(PED)，並說明其所需的機製。PED讓使用者可以透過網頁來使用內容提供商的服務，並且自動的將服務佈建到網路上。最後，本文發表一個整合式的資源配置機制，稱為Sbra，來管理多樣的和分散式的資源。它利用彈簧運作的物理特性定義一個資源描述檔，有效的提升了資源配置效率。同時基於Sbra，本論文提出一分散式的資源補償配置機制，SRCA，整合配置可程式化網路路徑上的資源。模擬結果顯示，SRCA可以動態與有效的提升端點到端點間連線成功率和資源使用率。我們相信，透過YAN的服務佈建模式與資源配置方法，使用者可以快速的佈建服務到網際網路，並滿足在雲端世代多元與客製化服務的需求。

As cloud services prevail in the world, it has become an urgent issue to deploy customized services on Internet. To this end, in recent years, it has become popular to deploy dynamically network services with software to support new cloud services. Soft-Defined Network (SDN), active networking and programmable networking framework are some good examples. Different from the centralized control architecture employed by SDN, active networking and programmable networking provide easy development and deployment of distributed services, which relieves overhead of centralized control architecture. However, it remains a challenging issue to deploy systematically on active and programmable networking framework. This work proposed an active network architecture, called Yen Active Network (YAN), to integrate these two frameworks. YAN allows users to deploy dynamically new de facto services on Internet. In YAN, the requirements of three levels of service deployment are identified - applications, network value-added and generic network services. Also, an Active Service Description Language (ASDL) based on XML was proposed to define and specify the profile of services of each level. To explain how YAN works, the thesis presented two simple active QoS routing services, called SAR and NAR, on the proposed layered routing architecture (LRA), and one application layer multimedia service, called PON-based Video Conference Services (PVCoS). Using ASDL, we depicted a profile-based E2ES deployment (PED) approach to define and deploy end-to-end proprietary services and highlighted the mechanisms required to support PED. PED enables users to access application services offered by CSPs using Web and automates service deployment on Internet. Finally, in order to manage distributed and multiple kinds of resources, we also proposed an associated resource allocation mechanism, called “Sbra”, which performed resource allocation efficiently based on spring-based resource profiles. Based on Sbra, a distributed Spring-based Resource Compensation Allocation (SRCA) was developed to coordinate resource allocations across active nodes along an end-to-end path. Simulation results illustrated that SCRA can improve call accepted rate between end points and enhance resource utilization of network devices. We believe that through the service deployment model and resource allocation approach adopted by YAN, users can deploy quickly services on Internet, which can fulfill the need of diversified and customized services in the coming cloud age.
