Dynamic Traffic Engineering for Improved Network Security and Performance

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab - Communication and Networking Systems Group

At JHU APL, we are working to improve the security and performance of networks by leveraging the tremendous traffic steering capability of SDN. By throwing out current routing and switching protocols and taking a clean sheet approach to redesigning how flows are assigned to forwarding paths, we aim to create a system that uses network resources much more efficiently and is significantly more responsive to feedback from network security analytics.
