Advanced
Networking Laboratory
The Advanced Networking
Laboratory (ANL) at NJIT engages in research to improve the
performance, dependability, and trustworthiness of
telecommunications networks.
Our current and recent research projects focus on:
-
Renewable Energy Powered Wireless Networks
(to facilitate optimal power supplies and energy
sharing in the renewable power supply networks while maximzing
the network coverage and capacity)
-
All-optical networks
(to increase the information-carrying capacity and the
utilization of network assets via the re-arrangability of
network connectivity)
-
Quality-of-Service (QoS)
routing (to
support networked applications requiring different qualities of
service)
-
Link state updating
(to expedite the exchange of network state information)
-
Active queue management
(to control congestion and to reduce the occurrence of overflows
of packet buffers associated with network routers)
-
Traffic modeling and
scheduling (to
improve the ability to engineer and operate networks with
predictable qualities of service)
-
Broadband access
(to provide end users at network edges with sufficient bandwidth
and QoS)
-
Network coding
(to improve network performance by mixing/coding information
received from multiple links at intermediate network nodes)
-
Network security
(to maintain the integrity of the Internet and other emerging
networks)
-
Specific network-based
applications, such
as electronic voting (e-voting) systems.
The goals
of the Advanced Networking Laboratory are to identify, model,
simulate, and demonstrate next-generation networking technologies,
and to add to the knowledge base for next generation networks; to
train tomorrow's network engineering innovators; and to foster
industrial collaboration and international partnerships. ANL
innovations are disseminated via patent disclosures, journal
publications, conference presentations, and presentations to funding
sponsors and prospective users.
For
example, ANL, in collaboration with NEC America, has made advances
in Passive Optical Networks.
The National Science Foundation
(NSF) has supported investigations into finding a new way to provide
services to a growing set of traffic classes in next generation
networks. ANL is also leading an international collaboration between
Japan and the U.S. to identify and to develop advanced security
technologies for the next generation of ubiquitous networks, under
the Strategic International Cooperative Program between the Japan’s
Science and Technology Agency and NSF.
The
laboratory is equipped with a variety of computers, including SUN
servers, SUN blades, and PCs. Associated with ANL is the Teaching,
Training and Testing Networking Laboratory (T3Net) which
has been established for instructional and training purposes; T3Net
is equipped with a number of CISCO routers and SUN machines.
