Modelling, Measurement and Control of the Internet

对现代高速数据网络（例如构成因特网的那些网络）的需求在所需服务的数量和质量方面都在迅速增加。 为了满足这些需求，网络运营商甚至网络本身需要进行测量并做出控制决策。根据服务的不同，需要在很短的时间尺度（几分之一秒）或更长的时间内完成此操作 时间刻度（分钟甚至数周）。 通过开发网络行为的创新数学模型， 该项目将提供改进的测量方法， 控制互联网。

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.
