To press forward its mission of promoting the engineering
and maintenance of a robust, scalable Internet, CAIDA focuses its
resources on various projects and areas of strategic interest.
These pages document the plans and status for these projects. Each
page provides a primary contact person who welcomes questions and
comments.
Projects and Infrastructure
-
Macroscopic Topology Project
- Active measurement of connectivity and latency data for a wide cross-section of the commodity Internet.
-
Cybersecurity
- The Cybersecurity project proposes to develop and implement new measurement and data collection technologies to understand and protect essential U.S. informational infrastructure.
-
PREDICT
- The Protected Repository for the Defense of Infrastructure Against Cyber Threats provides
vetted researchers with current network operational data.
-
Interconnection Economics
- A measurement-driven approach to modeling the economics of Internet interconnection.
-
Named Data Networking (NDN)
- Named Data Networking is a proposed Internet architecture that replaces IP with a network layer that routes directly on content names.
-
IMDC
- The Internet Measurement Data Catalog, a database to systematize distributed repositories and archives of Internet data and tools.
-
Archipelago Measurement Infrastructure (Ark)
- Archipelago (Ark for short) is CAIDA's next-generation active measurement infrastructure and represents an evolution of the skitter infrastructure.
-
Network Telescope
- Monitoring of traffic through network telescopes, or portions of routed IP address space on which little or no legitimate traffic exists.
-
Internet Identifier Consumption (IIC) Wiki
- The CAIDA IIC Wiki is a publicly viewable resource on IPv4 address space exhaustion.
