RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------

The ever-increasing growth of the Internet, accelerated by the massive
deployment of mobile data services and other bandwidth-greedy services
like IPTV, the deployment of new services based on the cloud computing
paradigm, and the ubiquitous use of multi-homing and enhanced traffic
engineering, has lately raised issues leading to an increasing concern
on the scalability of todays Internet architecture. Based on the
separation of the end-systems addressing space (the identifiers) and
the routing locators space, the Locator/Identifier Separation
Protocol (LISP) started as a research effort in the Routing Research
Group but made its way to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),
becoming a very attractive technology for Future Internet
Architecture. LISP can indeed be used to accommodate the perceived
Internet growth, while facilitating the deployment of new services.

In such a context, the design and operation of LISP networks naturally
encourages the need for a large scale flexible platform that would not
only facilitate the development of disruptive research in the area of
advanced IP forwarding paradigms, but would also ease the prototyping
of new LISP-based services. These are key points in order to grasp the
full implications of such architecture, assess its benefits and
performance under various conditions, as well as obtaining the
know-how necessary to take full advantage, add new features, and
develop new products. 

The LISP-Lab project aims at building an open platform, based on the
LISP architecture, providing the environment to perform high quality
research and support the design, development, and thorough assessment
of new services and use-cases. The range of technical tasks
planned in the LISP-Lab project, from cloud networking, to access
technology, through inter-domain connectivity, traffic engineering,
and mapping management, boosting innovation beyond the LISP technology
itself. 

The LISP-Lab platform will be multi-party, being the collaborative
result of a first class consortium composed of academic institutions
(Universit Pierre et Marie Curie, Telecom ParisTech), public interest
groups (RENATER, Rezopole) and industrial partners (Border6,
AlphaLink, NonStopSystems, France Telecom Orange, Ucopia). 
The LISP-Lab project aims at becoming a main actor in driving
future evolution of the LISP standardization,  with strong impact on
the networking industry and the Internet ecosystem at large. 

The proposed Ph.D. project aims at investigating through
implementation, deployment, and measurements the LISP technology, its
impact on the existing Internet architecture, and explore new
enhanced services. The work is expected to have strong impact on the
current LISP standardization efforts in the IETF.

LOCATION 
-----------------------------
A Ph.D. studentship for 3 years is available.
The successful candidate will join the NMS (Network, Mobility, and
Services) Research Group in Telecom ParisTech, Paris, France.

Telecom ParisTech (part of the Institute Mines-Telecom) is the first
higher education institution completely focusing on
telecommunications, and through the years has acquired a level of
excellence internationally recognized in the field of Communications
and Information Technology. With 215 faculty members, twenty research
associates and approximately 320 graduate students, Telecom ParisTech
is a leader in the French public research in the field of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT). Telecom ParisTech in partnership
with the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)
constitutes one of the largest mixed research unit (UMR - LTCI 5141)
in the domain of LTCI (Sciences et Technologies de lInformation et de
la Communication). The main research activities of Telecom ParisTech
focus on: communication systems (algorithm, architecture, physical
layer, optoelectronic, microwave); signals and images processing
(detection, restoration, compression, recognition and interpretation
of images of speech and music); computer networks (IP, embedded
systems, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, artificial
intelligence and information management); economics, management and
social sciences (digital business and administration, policy and
regulation, sociology of uses).
