Presentation
The High Performance Networking Group, led by Professor
Nick McKeown, is part of the Computer
Systems Laboratory in the departments of Computer
Science and Electrical Engineering
at Stanford University.
Our areas of research include:
- Core router architectures e.g. switch scheduling, buffering, packet classification
and lookup, using optics in routers, and using parallelism in routers.
- Novel ideas in the design of the Internet architecture, e.g. load-balancing,
optimal routing, deflection routing, and combining packet and circuit switching.
- Congestion control protocols in the Internet.
- Developing classroom tools (NetFPGA and VNS) to give students hands-on
experience with designing the Internet infrastructure.
