The Internetwork Research department anticpates future needs for network technology, designs solutions to those needs, and develops prototypes to validate these solutions. The goal is to satisfy the service requirements of future network users while producing technology that can handle the expected scale of future networks.
Research areas include:
- Quality-of-service routing and enforcement mechanisms
- Self configuring networks
- Active networking
- Network security
- Mobile and wireless networking
- Internetworking with satellites

Sample Projects
Flexible Intra-autonomous-system Routing Environment (FIRE): A project in DARPA's Active Nets Program, FIRE security enables flow-specific routing algorithms and/or metrics within an autonomous system.
Smart Enviroment for Network Control, Monitoring, & Management (SENCOMM): Another project with DARPA's Active Nets Program, SENCOMM extends BBNT's work on Smart Packets (packets carrying executable code) to enable intelligent network performance management tools.
Density-and Asymmetry-aware wireless Networking (DAWN): A project in DARPA's Global Mobile Information Systems Program (GloMo), DAWN addresses the problems of routing in the prescence of varying node density and asymmetric links in mobile ad hoc networks.
Flexnet is a set of proprietary waveforms for wireless networks. This is an internal R&D effort to build a Flexnet modem that will demonstrate the remarkable orthogonality of Flexnet waveforms and show how they can be used to more flexibly allocate capacity on links in satellite and terrestrial wireless networks.
Terabit router traffic engineering: A project in partnership with a terabit router vendor in which we are assisting with the development of their next generation product.
