COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
SPONSORED PROJECTS:
A highly scalable, fast and
dynamic routing scheme using VS representation has been
developed. Performance analysis of the VS based routing
scheme is being carried out with the Network Simulator.
Implementation of real-time routing protocol on
Linux platform
--Phani
- M.Tech (KReSIT) - 2005
A real-time routing protocol has been
implemented in Linux. The control plane functionality ,
which includes both dynamic cost mechanism and 'hello'
packet have been implemented in a modular fashion. Hashing
mechanism is used to store the packet next hop interface for
fast path computation. Hello packet provides routing scheme
quicker failure recovery. API has been provided to access
the VS routing scheme control parameters from an
application.
Research is carried on the use
of Network Processors in the field of network system design.
Current research focuses on both layer 2 and layer 3
implementations on Network Processor.
Implementation of Dynamic Routing Algorithm on
IXP 1200 Network Processor
--Darshan
Mujumdar DD (EE) - 2005
Intel’s IXP1200 Network Processor is used for
implementing a traffic engineering solution at the routing
level. A dynamic, real-time routing algorithm has been
implemented on the IXP1200 and its performance evaluation
has been carried out.
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING & QOS
:
Setup of MPLS test-bed and implementation of
DiffServ over MPLS-TE
--Sundeep
Singh- DD (EE) - 2005
A test-bed consisting of seven Linux
machines, five of which are configured as DiffServ over
MPLS routers, has been set up. Linux traffic control
filters, used for queuing and scheduling, are implemented.
A custom MPLS scalar MIB is written and the Net-SNMP (open
source SNMP protocol suite) code, for querying the custom
MPLS MIB, has been extended.
End-to-end QoS in Interdomain routing
--Nishant Kumar- DD (CSE)
- 2005
A novel approach to achieve
end-to-end QoS support by proposing a new Alliance Network
model, comprising of several ASes from different tiers has
been developed. The most important aspect of the proposed
model is its compatibility with existing BGP infrastructure,
and providing evolutionary path for QoS support. The
Alliance Network sets-up interdomain paths for premium
traffic, requiring specific QoS guarantee, while the
traditional BGP traffic continues in a normal fashion. OPNET,
a comprehensive development tool for modeling of
communication networks is used to implement BGP on a
designed network topology.
Optimization in SONET-WDM ring
networks and P2MP multicast tree:
Reduction of ADMs in SONET-WDM rings under stochastically
varying traffic and Optimisation of P2MP multicast tree
--Gaurav
Bhati - DD (EE) - 2005
Two NP class optimization problems in
networking have been tackled and heuristic solutions to each
one, were found. First problem deals with reduction of ADMs
in SONET-WDM ring networks. The second problem is
Optimization of P2MP multicast LSP trees. The nature of
internet traffic was assessed and a framework for the
stochastic analysis of internet traffic was formulated. a
heuristic called as the ‘‘least loaded ADM elimination’’ for
the ADM reduction problem has been proposed. Optimal P2MP
multicast trees is a NP-complete problem since it can be
converted into Steiner minimal tree problem. Hence, for
large networks the computational complexity becomes very
high. Therefore, heuristics were used to construct trees
which are computationally feasible and utilize near optimal
bandwidth.
