Research Areas
One of the main research area at CRAAX is networking. The topics covered include both IP and optical networks, and especially, the multi-layer challenges in the design and development of next generation network architectures and protocols. The research areas in which CRAAX is actively working on, can be generally classified into following:
Multi-Domain/Multi-Layer Hybrid IP/Optical Networks
The design of novel multi-domain/multi-layer hybrid IP/optical network architectures and protocols.
Network management in heterogeneous multi-layer and multi-vendor IP/optical network architectures.
The integration of protocols and tools into our multi-layer lab infrastructure, which includes Optical Cross-Connects, routers, and switches.
Routing Security and Management
Security aspects of the Internet routing system including Loc/ID Separation protocols.
Managing security in context of routing.
Predictive routing and wavelength assignment techiques considering physical layer impairments.
Intelligent route control.
Platform Design and Development
Design of open and programmable environments for experimenting with new applications on top of network elements.
Performance Evaluation
Monitoring and design of distributed measurement platforms.
The design of robust and intelligent control techniques for critical infrastructures.
