To measure the development of the topology and traffic in and around the UKLight network
Develop and Deploy Grid Probe technology on the network
Develop 'back end' feature extraction and data compression
Archive flow traces and statistics
Provide real-time views on specific flows for other UKLight users
Provide Grid Service based access to archive data

Working with global, high capacity networks is experimental. As with all experiments, it is necessary to measure and analyse the behaviour of the system. We expect that it will exhibit self-organizing behaviour. This project is the e-Science of Networking.
£1.2 million project that has started in September 2004, will record, analyse and publish the traffic and topology evolution throughout the lifetime of UKLight. In collaboration between: University College London (EE & CS), Loughborough University (EE & CS), University of Cambridge (EE & CS) and Endace (Industrial).
