This is a list of links to past and present projects hosted in Adelaide.
A SERN is a natural generalisation of a random network, taking into account that many physical networks are embedded in space, and longer links are more costly, and hence less likely.
We’ve been doing some work on SERNs for a little while. Here’s a few relevant links.
The Topology Zoo is a project to collect data network topologies from around the world. Have a look at its main web page: http://www.topology-zoo.org/.
Metagraphs are a generalisation of graphs (or networks) similar in nature to a directed hypergraph.
The main difference in a metagraph is that edges come associate with properties, even properties that are conditional on other parts to the graph, making them ideal to represent policies.
Does your web browser have a unique fingerprint? If so your web browser could be tracked across websites without techniques such as tracking cookies. Additionally the anonymisation aspects of services such as Tor or VPNs could be negated if websites you visit track you using your browser fingerprint. Browserprint is a service is designed to test how unique your web browser’s fingerprint is, and hence how identifiable your browser is.
A Traffic Matrix – a matrix giving the traffic volumes between origin and destination in a network – has tremendously potential utility for IP network capacity planning and management.
The Combined Optimization and Layered Design (COLD) Algorithm is used to synthesise data network topologies.
It uses a Genetic Algorithm to optimise the PoP-level structure of a network, then uses Generalised Graph Products to synthesise a router level network.
AutoNetkit: Automated Network Configuration: Construct your network from a topology diagram, add protocols, automatically allocate IP addresses, and generate configuration files with templates. Deploy to emulated networks and measure the results, with live visual feedback of design and measurement steps. Go to the AutoNetkit page for more details.
Statistically Accurate Internet Loss Measurements (SAIL)
This project focusses on a rigorous statistical method to analyse the results of loss measurements. SAIL uses algorithms from Hidden Semi-Markov Models to estimate the parameters of the real loss process from measurement. It then computes the real loss rate and its variance. SAIL is light-weight and runs in linear time (on the number of samples). You can find the code to perform the analysis, and the data we used in our paper (as well as links to the papers), on the SAIL web page.
