Collaborative Research: NeTS-NR:Bootstrapping Broad-Coverage Network Services

摘要：本提案探讨了两种广泛覆盖网络服务的设计和应用：(1)覆盖节点的拓扑发现服务，该服务用于相对于其对等体和所服务的端点定位自身；(2)收集、存储、传播、聚合、分析并对网络变化条件做出反应的信息服务。研究的挑战是设计这些服务既能提供互联网规模的覆盖，又能满足丰富的广域覆盖网络和应用的需求。我们将在PlanetLab上部署和演示这两个服务。这项工作的影响是提供“基础”服务，可以利用这些服务来提高Internet的健壮性、安全性、性能和可管理性。

Proposal Number: 0435087PI: Larry PetersonInstitution: Princeton University Title: Bootstrapping Broad-Coverage Network Services Abstract: This proposal explores the design and utility of two broad-coverage network services: (1) a topology discovery service that overlay nodes use to locate itself with respect to its peers and the endpoints it serves; and (2) an information service that collects, stores, propagates, aggregates, analyzes, and reacts to the network's changing conditions. The research challenge is to design these services to both provide Internet-scale coverage, and meet the needs of a rich collection of wide-area overlay networks and applications. We will deploy and demonstrate both services on PlanetLab. The impact of this work is to provide "foundational" services that can be leveraged to improve the robustness, security, performance, and manageability of the Internet.
