PhD research fellowship @ University of Dublin, Trinity College : in Optical Internet Architectures

We intend to further investigate a set of topics that will lead to the design and implementation of the smart network of the future. Such topics are highly interconnected and include:

• Dynamic traffic aggregation to support transparent optical networks and efficient multi-layer traffic switching (i.e., switching traffic at the lowest/most efficient layer)
• Intelligent, self-aware networks, capable of reconfiguring links depending on application service requirements and network state
• Dynamic traffic switching at multiple layers: fiber, waveband, wavelength, packet (layer2), service (layer-3), as needed.
• Peer-to-peer based content delivery to help reducing the load on core networks (where peer-to-peer is used as a network strategy rather than as an individual user application)
