Modelling, Measurement and Control of the Internet

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The demands made of modern high-speed data networks, such as those that make up the Internet, are increasing rapidly in terms of both the quantity and quality of service required. So that these demands can be satisfied, it is necessary that network operators, or even the network itself, take measurements and make control decisions. Depending on the service, there is a need to do this over very short timescales (fractions of a second), or longer timescales (minutes or even weeks). By developing innovative mathematical models of network behaviour, this project will deliver improved methods for measurement and control of the Internet.
