Network Systems Lab
Enabling Scalable Communication on the Internet
and Beyond
Overview
The Network Systems Lab at Purdue University,
located in room G50 of the CS Building, houses people
and equipment aimed at "enabling
scalable communication on the Internet and beyond." Three principal
projects are conducted spanning QoS provisioning, traffic control, and
network security:
• Scalable
QoS Provisioning
• Workload-Sensitive
Traffic Control
• Proactive
Network Security
The projects are supported by grants
from government and industry. Project related publications
and software are available
for public download. The lab houses Q-Bahn,
a QoS testbed for demonstrating scalable and deployable IP QoS targeted
at legacy applications running over legacy operating systems. The wireless
extension of Q-Bahn provides coverage across the three floors of the
CS Building.
The lab's approach to research is best captured by Wolfgang Pauli's remark, "This isn't right, this isn't even wrong." We take it to mean that life's too short to dwell on mediocre problems and try to live accordingly.
