Advanced Research in Networking

Overview
Networking research is about communications between entities (users, computers, intelligent devices) connected to a network. The group's networking research is designing (optimal) networks for information exchange amongst network devices, developing protocols that support the communications, developing mechanisms that allow effective management of a network and appropriate performance monitoring and control mechanisms.

The research focus of the group is on developing programmable service architectures, protocols and control mechanisms for supporting Quality of Service (QoS) of multimedia applications across the Internet. In doing so, they will also develop distributed infrastructure that supports QoS protocol, and QoS control mechanisms, and network applications.

Research Projects
The Group's Research needs to be approached at several levels: at the network level, at the transport level, and at the application level. The control mechanism is the deployment of a feedback control loop at each level. Feedback information can be implicit or explicit, simple or complex. In research, the aim is for simple, robust and explicit control.
