NIPET Architecture

Architectural Blocks

Our proposed archictecture provides you with the following research infrastructure components:

• Dedicated hardware to run your research software on
• Network taps to integrate research hardware into
• Pre and post processing hardware and software for encoding/decoding your results
• A comparison engine to test your results against production traffic
• Real, Live DNS root-zone queries to test your research
• Data archiving and analysis tools for capturing the results of your research

Multi-User Approach

We intend the experimental testbed to simultaneously support multiple research efforts. Using a defined networking architecture, visualization techniques, etc we will multiple testbeds operating in parallel as depicted below.

Data-Flow Architecture

TBD
