In what collaborations is CAIDA engaged?
CAIDA is founded on principles of cooperation and collaboration. Key collaborations currently include: • NGI/DARPA – In July 1998, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) awarded UCSD/CAIDA a $2.4 million award for a Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative, see http://www.caida.org/funding/ngi1998/. This effort focuses on monitoring, depicting, and predicting traffic behavior over production and experimental networks. The NGI project is developing and deploying tools to better engineer and operate networks and to identify traffic anomalies in “real time”. Components of this project include: (1) developing tools to automate the discovery and visualization of Internet topology and peering relationships (through application of CAIDA’s skitter tool); (2) monitoring and analyzing Internet traffic behavior on high speed links (through the development of OC12 and OC48 monitors); (3) detecting and mitigating threats (through security application of the Coral monitors); and (4) p
