POINT: iP Over IcN - the betTer ip (POINT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The goal of POINT is to develop technology, innovations, and business value chains for commercially viable IP-over-ICN deployment, based on the hypothesis that many current IP-based applications can run ‘better’ on an ICN-based network than on current IP networks.To achieve this, we will first define a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to specify what exactly 'better' means. Then, we will s ...

Adaptive Data and Power Aware Transceivers for Optical Communications (ADDAPT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

Existing optical networks are driven by dynamic user demands but operate statically at their maximum performance and do not offer much adaptability. Thus the links are not energy-efficient. ADDAPT aims at the development and technology take-up of dynamic transceiver subsystems. By implementing performance and power adaptivity from system down to optical device, electrical circuit and transistor le ...

Network Functions as-a-Service over Virtualised Infrastructures (T-NOVA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is an emerging concept, which refers to the migration of certain network functionalities, traditionally performed by hardware elements, to virtualized IT infrastructures, where they are deployed as software components. NFV leverages commodity servers and storage, including cloud platforms, to enable rapid deployment, reconfiguration and elastic scaling of net ...

SECURity at the network EDge (SECURED)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Protection of mobile devices from Internet threats is usually achieved by installing appropriate tools (e.g. anti-virus, personal firewall, parental control) on each device. However, this poses several issues: it requires privileged access on the device, appropriate protection tools may not exist on all the platforms or their capabilities may vary greatly across the different devices, and tools ma ...

Economics and Technologies for Inter-Carrier Services (ETICS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

ETICS aims at creating a new ecosystem of innovative QoS-enabled interconnection models between Network Service Providers allowing for a fair distribution of revenue shares among all the actors of the service delivery value-chain. To this end, we will propose and analyze new business and regulatory models for converged infrastructures, taking into account applications' QoS constraints and incentiv ...

Socially Aware, collaboRative, scAlable Coding mEdia distributioN (SARACEN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

The rapid progress in hardware/software media technologies has changed the role of individuals from passive content consumers to active content creator/producers. It is clear that in a few years everyone will be multimedia content producer (by publishing digital pictures, video recordings, remote e-health services, home surveillance, etc.), multimedia content mediator (by storing/forwarding strea ...

COntent Mediator architecture for content-aware nETworks (COMET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

In recent years there has been a growing proliferation of user-generated Internet content. This increasing trend has led to an abundance of intermediaries (e.g. YouTube, Flickr, BitTorrent, etc.) which is expected to grow in the future with massive live content generation (e.g. TV channels, SopCast, etc.) The problem is that, currently users need to know the content location a priori and content h ...

Scalable, Tunable and Resilient Optical Networks Guaranteeing Extremely-high Speed Transport (STRONGEST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Internet traffic has been growing quickly for many years, despite adverse economic conditions and this growth will continue in the future. To cope with this evolution, the cost of today's network solutions is still too high.In addition, in line with the EC goal of reducing the overall emissions, energy efficiency should be widely improved, using whenever possible optics instead of electronics wher ...

Simple Economic Management Approaches of Overlay Traffic in Heterogeneous Internet Topologies (SmoothIt)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

The use of mechanisms based on incentives for controlling and managing network traffic of overlay applications in the Internet is still in its early stages. Initial results have shown that such mechanisms do have the important property of scalability with respect to the number of players (i.e. providers, consumers, or peers), and lead to a more efficient network operation. In managing the traffic ...
