Applied Research Lab

Applied Research Lab

The mission of the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) is to advance the state of the art in high performance networking and networked applications, through an aggressive and forward-looking systems research program. Effective systems research requires a blend of fundamental and experimental research activities. Analytical research is essential to developing a deep understanding of research problems, while the design and implementation of prototype systems is required to properly evaluate proposed solutions in real-world settings. Since its founding in 1988, ARL has developed a number of experimental systems (both software and hardware) and has licensed its technologies to a variety of companies. We are currently pursuing a wide range of projects, ranging from active networking, through broadband applications through new network architectures for optical packet switching. Details of our current and prior work can be found through the various links at left.
