Abstract
Wireless mesh networking is emerging as an important architecture for the future generation of wireless communications systems. The challenging issue in WMNs is providing Quality of Service (QoS). So, this paper proposes a multiple-metric routing scheme for QoS in WMNs using a system of active networks. The Active Network paradigm offers the attractive capability of being able to carry executable payloads that can change the characteristics of a given platform. In other words, network nodes not only forward packets, but also perform customized computation on the packets flowing through them. It provides a programmable interface to the user.
