This project aims to design, implement and deploy a measurement toolkit for Reproducible Assessment of BroadBand Internet Topology and Speed (RABBITS). This toolkit offers comprehensive and longitudinal datasets to facilitate scientific studies on topology and performance of evolving speed test infrastructure. The software included in RABBITS enables reproducible speed tests by supporting the use of consistent test parameters, even across different test platforms. The project seeks to provide rigorous Internet measurement capabilities that can support broadband consumer protection efforts, and identify opportunities to improve coverage in unserved/under-served communities.

This project designs and implements the Sustainable Technology to Accelerate Research Network Operations Vulnerability Alerts (STARNOVA) platform. STARNOVA leverages unsolicited Internet traffic to provide early-warning indicators of new attacks targeted to cyberinfrastructure at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). The newly developed infrastructure extends the visibility of the UCSD network telescope to monitor unsolicited traffic toward SDSC's equipment IP address spaces.

This project proposes an effort to design measurement and analysis tools to reveal performance bottlenecks outside the cloud networks where the high cost of deployment and operations leads to infrastructure bottlenecks for cloud applications.
