Active node e.g. IP router, operating method for use in communication network, involves receiving active data packet and executing request contained in packet, and executing program contained or identified in packet

摘要

The method involves receiving an active data packet and executing a request contained in the packet. A network address contained in the active data packet is read by a communication terminal (2,3) to determine where a program is to be delivered. The program contained or identified in the active data packet is executed on the requested address. An independent claim is also included for an active node.
