Network Architecture and Optical Projects
The challenges faced by NRENs and researchers from the Data Deluge are huge and potentially incredibly disruptive. The volume of data being generated in the latest research projects is many orders of magnitude greater than even five years ago. Existing network paradigms may not be able to cope with the anticipated changes to data transfer. Looking forward towards future generations of networking technologies, several of these projects study future networking systems in order to help NRENs understand the issues and plan solutions.
There are five Network Architecture and Optical projects, each listed below:
