Who funds CAIDA?
Both government and industry participate in CAIDA. Most of CAIDA’s support is currently provided by government agencies, notably the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). Federal funding will continue, focused on longer-term research and development efforts that are beyond the immediate scope or priority of CAIDA’s commercial participants. CAIDA seeks to increase commercial funding as a portion of CAIDA’s overall budget through targeting development of tools and analysis efforts of particular relevance to providers.
