CISE Research Instrumentation: VIADUCT: A Testbed to Study Video, Image, Audio and Data Traffic on a High-Speed Network

9422250 Coyle该奖项旨在为高速、不同种类的局域网上的流量的其他实验、建模和分析建立一个试验台。为试验台购买的设备包括三台ATM交换机，其中一台可接入其他类型的网络，以及一台具有广泛视频功能的高性能工作站。以下设备将连接到试验床：位于不同实验室和研究小组的17个高性能工作站；工程计算机网络(ECN)的两台服务器和可支持12,000多名用户的以太网主干；以及GTE提供的至少两条T1线路，用于连接当地医院和高中。试验台将通过ECN接入互联网。这些连接将允许将来自许多不同应用程序的网络流量带入试验台进行研究。该试验台将支持的研究包括：网络流量统计和网络控制算法的建模和分析；通信网络设计和分析；经验数据驱动的离散事件系统仿真；ATM网络的视频和图像压缩算法；制造和机器人遥操作的分布式仿真和可视化。***

9422250 Coyle This award is to establish a testbed for `oth experimentation with and modeling and analysis of traffic on high-speed, heterogeneous, local area networks. The equipment purchased for the testbed includes three ATM switches, one of which provides access to other types of networks, and a high-performance workstation with extensive video capability. The following equipment will be connected to the testbed: 17 high-performance workstations located in various laboratories and research groups; two servers of, and the Ethernet backbone for the Engineering Computer Network (ECN), which supports over 12,000 users; and, at least two T1 lines provided by GTE for access to local hospitals and high schools. The testbed will have access to the Internet through the ECN. These connections will allow network traffic from many different applications to be brought into the testbed for study. The research this testbed will support includes: Modeling and analysis of network traffic statistics and network control algorithms; Communication network design and analysis; Discrete event system simulations driven by empirical data; Video and image compression algorithms for ATM networks; Distributed simulation and visualization for manufacturing and the teleoperation of robots. ***
