Funded Activity Summary

Overseeing the internet: new paradigms of network measurement. Like the electricity network, the Internet is a core infrastructure, and so must be reliable, efficient, and fairly accessible. A gap in bandwidth supply is like a blackout in terms of lost business and productivity. Inefficiency increases costs as more equipment is needed for the same service, and an inability to police network providers distorts economics and strangles access to the best services. Network health can only be assessed through measurements, however, current methods are incapable of measuring some of the most important metrics, for instance whether a provider is conforming to its contract. This project will provide the breakthroughs necessary to ensure that network behaviour can be accurately and comprehensively assessed.
