1. An active node, comprising:
- means for receiving an active message, said active message containing an active application identifier;
means for transmitting said active application identifier to an active applications server;
means for receiving associated code from said active applications server, said associated code comprising an active application identified by said active application identifier;
means for executing said associated code; and
means for transmitting to said active applications server information relating to an environment of said active node.

Abstract
We describe an active node, which receives an active message containing an active application identifier, transmits the active application identifier to an active applications server. receives associated code from the active applications server, and executes the associated code. The active node also may transmit to the active applications server information relating to its own environment, and information relating to whether it is an edge node or core node in the network, enabling the active applications server to determine the associated code to return to the active node.

4. An active applications server comprising:
-
means for receiving an active application identifier from an active node; association means for determining associated code depending on said active application identifier, said associated code comprising an active application; means for transmitting said associated code to said active node; and means for receiving information relating to an environment of said active node; wherein said association means determines said associated code as a function of said information relating to an environment of said active node. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

7. A method of forwarding an active message via an active node, comprising:
-
receiving said active message, said active message containing an active application identifier; sending a request message to an active applications server, the message containing said active application identifier; receiving associated code from said active applications server, said associated code determined by said active applications server as a function of said active application identifier; executing said associated code; and forwarding the active message to a following active node; wherein said request message contains information relating to an environment of said active node, and the associated code is determined by said active applications server as a function of said information. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
