Development of a new transport layer protocol to provide secure broadband internet connections via satellite to rural and remote areas. Satellite links form an essential part of broadband connectivity to rural and remote areas. Effective use of the internet over satellite links is therefore essential if B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) E-commerce is to develop in these areas. In many application networks, particularly virtual private networks (VPN), secure transmission ....Development of a new transport layer protocol to provide secure broadband internet connections via satellite to rural and remote areas. Satellite links form an essential part of broadband connectivity to rural and remote areas. Effective use of the internet over satellite links is therefore essential if B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) E-commerce is to develop in these areas. In many application networks, particularly virtual private networks (VPN), secure transmission is important to avoid fraud and maintain privacy.
Satellite links introduce a long delay (latency) in the transmission path and existing secure internet protocols do not handle this well. This is because in many situations, it is a requirement that the secure connection be implemented not only independently of the
satellite service provider but also in a reliable and efficient way.
This project will develop new practical solutions so that secure and reliable end-to-end connections can be provided over the satellite links.

Providing End-to-End Quality of Service to Internet Applications. Current Internet only supports limited quality of service (QoS) within isolated domains. This project allows critical applications to be deployed over the global Internet. The project employs a programmable architecture for composing services and intelligent software elements for negotiating acceptable QoS responses for individual application flows over multiple administrative domains. The architecture employs DiffServ's aggregati ....Providing End-to-End Quality of Service to Internet Applications. Current Internet only supports limited quality of service (QoS) within isolated domains. This project allows critical applications to be deployed over the global Internet. The project employs a programmable architecture for composing services and intelligent software elements for negotiating acceptable QoS responses for individual application flows over multiple administrative domains. The architecture employs DiffServ's aggregation property to make it scalable for the Internet core. Successful outcomes would open the floodgates, allowing the development and deployment of applications such as high quality videoconferences, live sport broadcasts, remote medical services, network games, real-time on-line educations, and multimedia distributions.

Fair Intelligent Quality of Service Control and Path Discovery Mechanisms for Internet Scalable Architectures. Until now the Internet only provides best effort service without guaranteeing the timeliness or actual delivery of data. Quality of Service (QoS) architectures have been proposed but not deployed due to a fundamental problem: either the architecture is not scalable or it does not guarantee end-to-end QoS. The project tackles the problem by introducing mechanisms for network path discove ....Fair Intelligent Quality of Service Control and Path Discovery Mechanisms for Internet Scalable Architectures. Until now the Internet only provides best effort service without guaranteeing the timeliness or actual delivery of data. Quality of Service (QoS) architectures have been proposed but not deployed due to a fundamental problem: either the architecture is not scalable or it does not guarantee end-to-end QoS. The project tackles the problem by introducing mechanisms for network path discovery in the network core. The solution allows an integration of both scalability and end-to-end QoS architectures. The outcomes allow network providers to provision network resources efficiently, to develop competitive Internet-based products; and the service providers to develop quality services such as high quality IP phone, multimedia distributions.

Efficient and Fair Traffic Control for a Multi-Service Internet. Australia relies very heavily on its
telecommunications infrastructure due to its
geographic dispersion. For the same reason,
it cannot afford to invest in inefficient infrastructure.

geographic dispersion. For the same reason,
it cannot afford to invest in inefficient infrastructure.
Our novel and practical Internet congestion control scheme will overcome current weaknesses in the Internet, and will enable the Australian telecommunication service industry to provide a better quality of service to the customers (including Australian industries and rural communities) and at lower cost. This project will put Australia on the international stage as a leading contributor to Internet technology. We will provide training for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows in the important area of Internet traffic engineering and control.Read moreRead less
Quality of Service in 3G Wireless Systems with Hybrid Networks. The increasing demand of providing Internet-based services over the mobile handsets has led to the transition from circuit-based 2G systems to packet-based network architectures in the emerging 3G systems. A major technical challenge for this paradigm shift is maintaining quality of services (QoS) for the existing data and voice and future Internet services such as streaming multimedia over such packet switching networks. This proje ....Quality of Service in 3G Wireless Systems with Hybrid Networks.

A major technical challenge for this paradigm shift is maintaining quality of services (QoS) for the existing data and voice and future Internet services such as streaming multimedia over such packet switching networks. This project aims to investigate end-to-end QoS solutions in the 3G systems. Australian mobile Internet and voice carriers will significantly benefit from this technology.Read moreRead less
