Studying the robustness of hyper-connected mesh core networks
Beschreibung
Hyper-connected meshes are a growing idea that improves the connectivity in core networks. This approach adds several links to the existing core network to make it more dense and increases the number of simple paths in the network. There are several approaches to add these links to the network. In this work, we compare the robustness of the different approaches on different topologies and identify the best approach to add links in terms of robustness.
We already have our tool to develop robustness surfaces for the given network. The student is expected to use this tool and compare the robustness of different approaches and make meaningful inferences.

Routing methods to maximize availability in multi-domain networks
Beschreibung
In this context, a domain is a geographical region. The nodes on the edge of a domain are called border nodes. We assume that there is a controller (like in SDN) to control the interdomain traffic. However, domain operators do not like to share information about their network topologies, node or link characteristics, availabilities, etc. They can only share abstract numbers that can not be reverse-engineered to obtain any useful information. With this restriction, the interdomain controller needs to make routing decisions to route interdomain traffic.
This research internship requires a thorough literature survey of existing techniques in multidomain routing for reliability and understanding the gaps. Furthermore, the student is expected to implement a multi-domain routing strategy and test it with different topologies.
Voraussetzungen
Python, NetworkX, Gurobi, Knowledge from the COmmunication Network Reliability course
