CoNS is a newly created research group affiliated with CReWMaN. We are interested in both fundamental and practical design aspects of the Internet. Our research focuses on tackling complexity and scalability challenges at both network and system level.

At the network level, we develop theoretical underpinnings for the development of scalable, distributed traffic control protocols. We are also exploiting the possibility of applying phase transition theories from quantum statistic mechanics in physics to the analysis of the network robustness against failures and attacks.

At the system level, we address critical data plane design challenges in a router including fast packet classification and fast performance testing of data path functions to router components mapping. We also look into the details of large scale traffic analysis and profiling, operating system overheads that affect network throughput and system architectural issues.
