Overview of MURI Research Protocol Engineering
Research Center (PERC)

• Michael Melliar-Smith
• Tatsuya Suda
• December 9, 2002

3
Vision

• Network protocols should not simply move bits
  from source to destination
• Protocols must provide the functionality and
  support (real-time, fault-tolerance, security)
  required for complex fault-tolerant real-time
  secure distributed applications and systems

4
Objectives

• Develop protocols
• that allow programmers to easily create
  applications without worrying about timing, fault
  tolerance, mobility or security
• whose behavior is predictable in the absence of
  complete information
• Develop tools
• that help application developers to understand
  effects of their design decisions
• Device methodologies
• that allow designers to express applications
  requirements
• Demonstrate the developed protocols, tools,
  methodologies in DoD network-centric applications

Areas of Focus

• Protocols for
• Real Time Resource Management (UCI, UCSB)
• Fault Tolerance (UCSB)
• Application Programs with End-to-end QoS (UCI)
• Security (UCD, Stanford, UCSB)
• Scalable Real-Time Multicasts (UCSB, UCI)
• Mobile Wireless Environments (UCSC, Stanford,
  UCSB, UIUC)
• Bio Networking Architecture (UCI)
• Tools for
• Network Protocol Simulation and Emulation (UIUC,
  Stanford)

9
Areas of Focus and Approaches

• Protocols for Real Time Resource Management
• Critical path analysis, object-oriented patterns,
  benchmarking to optimally control CPU, network
  and memory resources in protocols
• Protocols for Fault Tolerance
• Object replication, replica consistency control,
  reliable total ordering delivery of messages,
  pluggable fault tolerant CORBA framework, to
  increase fault tolerance in protocols
• Protocols for Security
• Specificationbased intrusion detection, a
  language to specify multistage attacks,
  methodology to reason what caused intrusion
  specification violation, to detect and respond to
  attacks

10
Areas of Focus and Approaches

• Protocols for Scalable Real-Time Multicasts
• Time stamping, heart beat messages, shared
  multicast routing algorithms, feedback, layered
  video coding to design QoS aware multicast
  protocols
• Protocols for Mobile Wireless Environments
• Dynamic transmission scheduling, dynamic link and
  node activation, topology control, to deal with
  mobility
• Bio Networking Architecture
• Application of biological concepts (emergent
  behavior, evolution and natural selection) to
  design flexible applications and protocols

11
Areas of Focus and Approaches

• Tools for Network Protocol Simulation and
  Emulation
• Component based software architecture, packet
  level and flow-level simulations, to develop
  generic, efficient and accurate tools

12
Scientific ApproachSynergistic Collaboration

• CORBA Standards and Implementations
• UCI Real Time CORBA
• UCSB Fault Tolerant CORBA
• Quality of Service
• UCI, Pluggable protocol framework for TAO
• UIUC, Communication middleware to provide QoS
• Multicast Protocols
• UCSB Bridge to support multiple group
  communication protocols
• UCSC and UCI Multicast protocols that support
  QoS
• Wireless Protocols
• UCSC QoS over multiple paths in mobile ad-hoc
  networks
• Stanford Queueing dynamics of ad-hoc wireless
  networks
• UIUC Topology control in mobile ad-hoc networks.
• Simulation Tools

  distributed systems
• UIUC JavaSim, component-based network simulation
  
• Application of Bio Concepts for Protocol
  Development
• UCI Bio Net for flexible protocols and services
