We present here a methodology for programming active networks in the environment defined by our new language PLAN (Packet Language for Active Networks). This environment presumes a two-level architecture consisting of:

1. active packets carrying PLAN code; and
2. downloadable, node-resident services written in more general-purpose languages.
