Control-on-demand an efficient approach to router programmability.

Control-on-demand is a paradigm for network programmability at the network transport level. Prior work on active and programmable networking at this level either achieves flexibility by inserting significant software in the critical path of forwarding or achieves efficiency by sacrificing functional...
