Network performance
Available bandwidth estimation (UANM), packet interleaving and path diversity (TimeD) and the detection of hidden routers in traceroute paths (DRAGO).
Tools & projects
- UANM
In the context of network monitoring we are working on a distributed platform for Internet Measurements called UANM (Unified Architecture for Network Measurement). The software platform currently offers available bandwidth measurement services in a unified architecture.
- TimeD
The current Internet scenario poses several challenges to the infrastructure, and different approaches have been proposed in literature towards the Future Internet.
- Hidden routers
Traceroute is probably the most famous networking tool widely adopted in both industry and research. Despite its long life, however, measurements based on Traceroute are potentially inaccurate, misleading or incomplete due to several unresolved issues.
