Bottleneck Active Node Detouring for capsule-based active network

Active Node is a network device capable of forwarding packets and giving them the computation service in the meantime. It plays a critical role in capsule-based active networks to speed up the development of a protocol and facilitate the deployment of a service inside networks. When getting overloaded, however, it becomes a throughput bottleneck to all Active Applications whose packets traverse the Active Node. It can enable the Bottleneck Active Node Detouring (BAND) proposed in this paper to free Active Applications from the penalty of poor throughput because not all Active Applications need the computation service in the bottleneck Active Node. Besides, it can enable the BAND to give Active Applications other benefits identified in this paper.
