`
`Overview
`
`The NMS group at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory conducts research in many areas of networking: wireless
`networks, Internet architecture and protocols, overlay and peer‐to‐peer networks, sensor networks, network security, and networked
`systems. The group was formed in 1998.
`
`Current projects
`
`Datacenter networks and cloud infrastructure
`Fastpass and Flowtune
`Domino: programmable router data planes
`Flexplane: whole‐network emulation in software for programmability
`Mobile and sensor computing
`Glimpse: a continuous object recognition system
`Transport protocols and mechanisms
`Remy (TCP ex machina, computer‐synthesized congestion control)
`Mahimahi (record‐and‐replay framework for web traffic)
`
`Unfortunately, the above list might be a bit out‐of‐date. The NMS papers page has a more current list of papers.
`
`Some past projects
`
`Internet architecture, overlay and P2P networks
`
`P2P and overlay networks
`
`Chord: a scalable and robust distributed hash table (DHT) enabling key‐value lookups.
`Project IRIS: A multi‐institution NSF ITR collaboration that developed the network and system infrastructure for resilient Internet
`services using DHTs. Our work included:
`Dynamic evolution of P2P systems: The amount of work required to maintain good connectivity depends on the "half‐life" of a
`P2P system.
`SFR (Semantic‐Free Referencing), a reference (name) resolution service for linked systems.
`DOA (Delegation‐Oriented Architecture), an extension to the Internet architecture that accommodates "middleboxes" in an
`architecturally coherent way using a new delegation primitive.
`DQE (Distributed Quota Enforcement), a spam control system.
`Speak‐up, a defense against application‐level DDoS attacks.
`RON (Resilient Overlay Networks): Improving availability and resilience of Internet paths using application‐controlled overlay routing.
`MONET: Multi‐homed overlay network of web proxies to route around network failures for Web applications.
`
`Congestion control, traffic engineering
`
`XCP (eXplicit Congestion Control) and TeXCP: Congestion control for high bandwidth‐delay product networks and responsive traffic
`engineering.
`CM (Congestion Manager), an integrated end‐to‐end congestion management architecture and congestion control algorithms for the
`future Internet.
`OxygenTV: rate adaptation and error control for MPEG‐4 delivery.

`Internet routing
`
`Networks and Mobile Systems
`
`rcc and correct Internet routing: tools to improve routing correctness and experimental studies of Internet routing and failures.
`R‐BGP: Improving Internet routing connectivity.
`BGPSep: Constructing correct and scalable iBGP configurations.
`
`Network measurement
`
`DNS analysis: trace‐based analysis of DNS performance and caching.
`M&M tools: multiQ and mystery, passive measurement tools suitable for large scale studies of Internet path characteristics
`Routing analysis: BGP measurements.
`
`Wireless, mobile, and sensor networks
`
`CarTel: a mobile sensor network system developing vehicular network protocols, software, and services.
`Cricket: An accurate indoor location system. (Now commercially available.)
`SoftPHY and its applications: using cross‐layer confidence information (SoftPHY) from the physical layer to design better higher‐layer
`wireless network protocols.
`INS is an intentional naming system for scalable and dynamic resource discovery. Twine aims to make INS scalable to large networks
`using peer‐to‐peer lookups, built on top of Chord.
`Migrate, an end‐to‐end architecture for Internet host mobility, support for suspend/resume operations for mobile network
`applications to handle disconnections, and server failover.
`Harnessing multiple radios and access points
`FatVAP: Aggregating AP backhaul bandwidth.
`Horde: networking software that allows an application to stripe data from multiple streams across a set of dissimilar wireless
`network channels.
`Divert: a multi‐radio, fine‐grained path selection system for improving throughput in wireless LANs.
`APware: improving performance and robustness for multi‐rate wireless LANs.
`Fusion: Mitigating congestion in wireless sensor networks.
`BSD (Bounded SlowDown), Span, LEACH and Spin: energy‐efficient protocols for wireless and sensor networks

`
`Network security
`
`AIP (Accountable Internet Protocol): self‐certifying Internet addresses + new protocols to provide accountability and improve
`Internet security.
`Kill‐Bots: Surviving application‐layer botnet attacks that mimic flash crowds.
`Real‐Time anomaly detection: Improving network security with real‐time scanning and worm detection.
`Speak‐up, a defense against application‐level DDoS attacks using bandwidth as a "currency".
`DQE (Distributed Quota Enforcement), a spam control system.
`Securing SSH from address harvesting attacks.
