Test-bed for Wide-Area Software Defined Networking Research. Test bed for wide-area software defined networking research: This project aims to develop a wide-area test bed, spanning ten organisations, for conducting research and experimentation in the emerging disruptive technology of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is likely to bring long-term transformation to the networking industry, much like cloud computing did, by enabling dynamic virtualised elastic network services under software ....Test-bed for Wide-Area Software Defined Networking Research. Test bed for wide-area software defined networking research: This project aims to develop a wide-area test bed, spanning ten organisations, for conducting research and experimentation in the emerging disruptive technology of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is likely to bring long-term transformation to the networking industry, much like cloud computing did, by enabling dynamic virtualised elastic network services under software control. The test bed will empower Australian researchers in network technologies and dependent applications (for example, multimedia and security) to collaboratively develop and demonstrate novel ideas at scale. This is expected to benefit Australia by giving our researchers international recognition in this nascent area, and developing a national talent pool for local industry.Read moreRead less
Enhancing Internet of Everything content acquisition, distribution, and security using software defined networking. The aim of this project is to develop novel frameworks and algorithms that improve video streaming experience across multiple interconnected content distribution networks. The novelty of the scheme is in optimally coupling cache server selection with network path control using software defined networking technology. The intended outcomes of this project are the development and demo ....Enhancing Internet of Everything content acquisition, distribution, and security using software defined networking. The aim of this project is to develop novel frameworks and algorithms that improve video streaming experience across multiple interconnected content distribution networks. The novelty of the scheme is in optimally coupling cache server selection with network path control using software defined networking technology. The intended outcomes of this project are the development and demonstration of algorithms and mechanisms for efficient Internet content delivery to achieve unprecedented user experience. The proposed project is expected to lead to commercial outcomes with consequent economic and social benefits, while strengthening Australia’s leadership in the emerging area of software defined networking.Read moreRead less
Re-engineering internet timekeeping for scalability, accuracy and trust. This project aims to define and solve problems underpinning a secure and extensible system for network timekeeping, and implement and test a prototype under realistic conditions over the Internet. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to software applications. A network is an inexpensive and convenient way to synchronise these clocks, but the Internet currently depends on an unreliable and insecure approach. ....Re-engineering internet timekeeping for scalability, accuracy and trust. This project aims to define and solve problems underpinning a secure and extensible system for network timekeeping, and implement and test a prototype under realistic conditions over the Internet. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to software applications. A network is an inexpensive and convenient way to synchronise these clocks, but the Internet currently depends on an unreliable and insecure approach. The expected outcome will be trusted, accurate and reliable software clocks that support applications like cloud computing, billing systems and secure communications, which could become the timekeeping system for the Internet and the Internet of Things.Read moreRead less
Congestion control of networks: a unified stochastic framework. Systems such as the internet, wireless networks and the power grid require efficient allocation of shared resources. This research will develop ways to reduce delays in the internet and allow for growth in the power grid, without requiring additional infrastructure.
