Advanced Network Technologies

The Advanced Network Technologies Division  (ANTD)  provides  expertise  in Network Science and Engineering.  It develops  knowledge  about networks  to understand their complexity and inform their future design. It seeks to discover and understand  common principles and fundamental structures underlying networks and their behaviors.  It studies the processes underlying  networks evolution and the paradigms for network engineering to enhance their efficiency, reliability, security, and robustness .  ANTD remains  very active in The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) where it participates in the development of network protocols and algorithms, studies system issues in interoperability of communication networks, and actively transitions the lessons learned to industrial partners for  commercialization.

It responds to national priorities with programs in Internet Infrastructure Protection, Cloud Computing,  Next Generation Internet (NGI)  and several joint-projects such as  Smart Grid, Smart Manufacturing, and Localization.

ANTD has recently extended its NGI program to include Software defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization projects, and initiated new programs in Information Centric Networking, High Performance Networking, and Internet Of Things.
