Modern packet networks are highly complex and ever-evolving objects. Understanding, developing and managing such environment is difficult and expensive in practice. Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (TMA) has always been seen as a key methodology to understand telecommunication technology and operation, and the complexity of the Internet has attracted many researchers to face traffic measurements since the pioneering times. The recent advances in the field of TMA suggest that evolved TMA-based techniques can play a key role in the operation of real networks.

The goal of theECODE (Experimental COgnitive Distributed Engine) project is to develop, validate, and implement a cognitive routing system, which uses machine learning techniques, that can meet the future Internet challenges, in terms of manageability, security, availability, and accountability. The project combines networking with machine learning expertise, in order to address these challenges in the most efficient way.

The aim of the project is to develop new solutions for the control architecture of the Internet that remove the known and emerging technical deficiencies while avoiding prejudging commercial and social outcomes for the different players.

The ALAWN (Authentication and Legal Access in WiFi Networks) aims at developing new techniques and protocols to allow owners of WiFi networks that securely share their network and Internet access with visitors.

The ICI project, sponsored by Cisco Systems aims at developing new techniques and protocols to improve the convergence of routing protocols. Within this project, we have studied the convergence time of IS-IS in large ISP networks, proposed techniques to avoid transient loops during routing convergence of IS-IS and OSPF, proposed techniques to protect BGP peering links from failures, ...

OneLab is an open networking laboratory integrating, testing, validating and demonstrating new fixed and wireless networking technologies in real world settings and production environments.

AGAVE (A liGhtweight Approach for Viable End-to-end IP-based QoS Services) is developing solutions for open end-to-end service provisioning based on the notion of Network Planes that may be interconnected across multiple providers to create Parallel Internets tailored to service requirements.

The objective of the TOTEM project (TOolbox for Traffic Engineering Methods) is to develop a toolbox of algorithms for traffic engineering purposes.
