Information-centric networking/Named-data networking provides an alternative approach to host-oriented, IP-based communication. Communication following this paradigm directs network traffic to a host that advertises a given name. A number of approaches have been implemented to demonstrate the basic viability of concepts; however, none of these approaches provide observability and introspection as provided by a lot of … Read more
Information-centric networking assumes that content is the focus of communication and is uniquely named in networks e.g. a consumer asks a network for specific content instead of connecting to the IP address of a specific server. This approach allows content to be cached within the network and network nodes to change their location without affecting … Read more
My areas of interest include: I am happy to talk about any project ideas in these areas.
The current Internet architecture assumes communication based on the identity of hosts e.g. the name/IP address of a webserver in a URL. Individual clients connect to specific servers to retrieve documents and videos. Information-centric networking instead assumes that content is the focus of communication and is uniquely named in networks e.g. a consumer asks a … Read more
Background I’m happy to consider compelling project proposals that involve hardware, networking, security or wireless technologies. Ideally they will be well aligned with my research interests. Please get in touch In recent years students have worked on projects in security and crypto, VPNs, homomorphic encryption, Vehicular Networking, Distributed online control, Underwater communications, music visualisation and … Read more
OpenFlow has been proposed as a protocol for managing devices in a control plane to direct the operation of switches in a data plane in order to adjust the flows of traffic within a network. This development of this protocol has focussed on IPv4/6 and other traditional associated protocols. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) – in contrast … Read more
