Projects

PlanetLab: We host the PlanetLab Consortium, which is building a global platform for testing and deploying an emerging class of planetary-scale network services.

VINI: We are building a virtual network infrastructure that allows network researchers to evaluate their protocols and services in a realistic environment that also provides a high degree of control over network conditions.

CoDeeN: We are designing a suite of network services, including a CDN, that provides users with more robust access to network content.

Federation: We are currently conducting a PlanetLab federation trial with the OneLab project, which is creating independent slice and management authorities spanning Europe.

PlanetBridge: We are building wifi router node based on the PlanetLab software and hoping to deploy a number of these into people's homes as a wifi router. We hope to pursue other projects such as building a neighborhood mesh as well as an instance of the village/school wifi servers as needed by projects like OLPC and Intel's CMPC.

Information Plane: We are building systems that collect, analyze, and react to information about the Internet. Our goal is better anomaly detection, fault diagnosis, and network management.

E2E Protocol Design: We are investigating ways to improve the performance and robustness of end-to-end protocols like TCP.

Network Servers: We are investigating ways to improve the performance and robustness of network services and software.

Sarana: We are building software interfaces for collaborative computing among mobile devices.

Fast Copper: We are pushing the next revolution in copper-based broadband access to provide order of magnitude improvement in DSL access speed and quality through innovations in both physical layer and network architecture.

Flexible Wireless Access: We are incorporating novel channel coding and medium access algorithms into the flexible delivery of a mixture of Quality of Service for various applications running over wireless access networks.

NOCS (Nonlinear Optimization of Communication Systems): We are developing a mathematical framework of advanced optimization methods and distributed algorithms for both rigorous analysis and systematic design of communication systems across the layers.

Extensible Router: We have built an IP router from commodity components that is easily extended to support new functionality.
