Research Projects
• 100x100 -- In the 100x100 project, we are conducting the basic research and developing the blueprint designs that will guide decision-makers in the construction of a next generation network that is dependable and secure; understandable to users and operators; and both economical and scalable.
• The 4D Architecture for Network Control and Management -- While Internet Protocol (IP) has been a runaway success, today's IP networks are difficult to manage well. Operations costs are high and yet network reliability remains low. Our research begins from the observation that the root cause of these problems is IP's current management and control planes, which distribute vital state and control functions across multiple systems.
