Ensuring the Robustness of IP Routing

互联网本质上是国际性的，因此任何建模和理解它的努力都必须具有一定的国际性。然而，澳大利亚与世界其他地区的网络路径更长，路由协议的操作取决于此延迟。这就强调了为什么澳大利亚必须参与这种研究：以确保在设计互联网协议时考虑到澳大利亚的问题。该项目将直接为澳大利亚提供一个更强大的互联网，在一个普遍感兴趣的领域的国际曝光，专利的潜力，以及具有商业价值的专业知识和测量基础设施的发展。

The Internet is by its nature international, and so any such effort to model and understand it must be somewhat international. However, Australia has longer network paths to the rest of the world and the routing protocols' operation depends on this latency. This emphasizes why Australia must participate in such research: to ensure that Australian issues are considered when Internet protocols are designed. This project will directly deliver a more robust Internet for Australia, international exposure in an area of general interest, the potential for patents, and the development of commercially valuable expertise and measurement infrastructure.
