Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The research project will be carried out jointly by members of the software systems engineering and the network research groups at UCL. Both groups have developed substantial background research results, in the area of code mobility and programmable networks respectively. This project aims to bring them together and facilitates a synergistic exchange of research results across computer science disciplines.The project will define an architecture for adaptive and programmable networks. This architecture defines an abstract routing machine upon which highlevel language interpreters are defined. These can be programmed using high-level configuration languages and policies expressed in the eXtensible Markup Language (XML). These XML programs will be interpreted by routers and control the packet forwarding process. XML technologies enable the cost-effective implementation of interpreters for these languages. At the same time they facilitate the definition of networking services and qualities of service at higher levels of abstraction than Java classes or scripts. The code mobility approach developed at UCL will facilitate efficient and incremental changes to router configurations and will enable routers to adapt to different needs. The project will evaluate the approach by using Programmable DiffServe as a case study and determine whether an improvement in scalability, and manageability can be achieved without a significant performance penalty.
