Abstract
Active networks represent a significant step in the evolution of packetswitched networks, from traditional packet-forwarding engines to more general functionality supporting dynamic control and modification of network behavior. This paper describes a basic framework for an active network management system based upon agent technology, which can provide different views on a network, each related to a specific problem domain. Exemplarily the domain of VPN provisioning will be presented by a VPN management service covering all kind of aspects needed to provide VPNs for a wide quantity and variety of customers.
