Resilient Networks will develop and demonstrate protocols and methods for routing and self-configuration that have resilience against failing components, misconfigurations and sabotage.
The Resilient Networks project aims at developing and demonstrating methods and mechanisms for enabling networks to maintain an acceptable level of service under different challenging environments. There are many threats to the normal operations of a network, including technical problems in the equipment, human errors like misconfiguration of a router, sudden external events like a link being broken by construction work, legitimate but unexpected traffic patterns, and even sabotage like Denial of Service attacks or attacks by hackers.
The Resilient Networks project is divided into two smaller projects; the REPAIR project studies more resilient routing methods for large-scale infrastructure networks, while the Resilient Wireless Networks project focus on various wireless technologies.
