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.
