Networking @ QMUL Jian Zhang Network Research Laboratory (NRL) Department of Computer Science, Queen Mary, University of London
Outline • Existing Networking Research @ QMUL • New Networking Research @ QMUL • Current Project Status • Future Directions
Existing Networking Research @ QMUL (1) • NSAL (Electronic Engineering) • Jonathan Pitts: • Network behavior, QoS, queuing analysis, accelerated simulation and traffic modeling • John Schormans: • Queuing analysis, monitoring, measurement, modeling and simulation for packet networks • Raul Mondragon: • Traffic modelling, topology of networks and accelerated simulation • Chris Phillips: • Carrier networks, MPLS and traffic engineering, VPNs
Existing Networking Research @ QMUL (2) • QMaths (Department of Mathematics) • David Arrowsmith: • Queuing theory • Steve Gilmore: • Design and analysis of experiments
New Networking Research @ QMUL (1) • NRL (Department of Computer Science) • Andrew Moore: • “recently” moved from Cambridge to Queen Mary as a Roberts Fellow • brought 10 tons of kits, some installed in Physics space - thanks Alex and Steve! • brought various EPSRC projects across from Cambridge to QMUL too
New Networking Research @ QMUL (2) • Network Research Laboratory • New research group in DCS • Engineering for monitoring • GRIDprobe (technologies live on) • MASTS (UK GRID collaboration within UKLIGHT) • CoMo (collaboration with Intel Research Cambridge)
New Networking Research @ QMUL (3) • From Monitoring to Management • Performance and Understanding • 46PaQ (UK GRID collaboration using UKLIGHT) • Intelligent Auditing • Intelligent Resource Control • Content-controlled Security for Networks
Current Project Status (1) • 46PaQ (partnered with UCL CS) • 2 year EPSRC/UKLIGHT project • been transferred from Cambridge to QMUL May ‘06 • (finally) has resource staff in place, although he is ill today. • working on monitoring for IPv6, DCCP, ECN, and other quality of service issues • Specific use will be to help get 10Gbps from a 10Gbps pipe; first we plan to help the VISTA Astronomers moving data between Cambridge and Edinburgh (DCCP on UKLIGHT), ref: Jim Emerson
Current Project Status (2) • MASTS (partnered with UCL CS and Loughborough CS/EE) • 3 year EPSRC/UKLIGHT project • transferred from Cambridge to QMUL on Jun’06 • finally has research staff in place, Me! • effective monitoring and understanding for UKLIGHT and new high-speed networks • Specific use will be to map the growth of UKLIGHT, examine high-speed behaviors and provide feedback/control for other UKLIGHT users.
Future Directionsmonitoring, measurement, modeling and management • GENOA: statistical methods for deriving network content • ideal for fast auditing, firewalls, etc. • ROME: Realistic High-speed Traffic Emulation • How we test the 21st Century Networks.
