Network Survivability via Failure Identification and Rapid Network Restructure (NetSurvive)

The University of Maryland Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (UMD MAX) is working with the University or New Mexico and the University of South Florida to investigate the use of Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies as the basis for failure recovery and restoration. The purpose of this project is to develop and test systems and software which will enable networks to survive and rapidly recover during large scale failure scenarios. This project is developing protocols, algorithms, intelligent networks services, and network agents which can monitor real time network state and react quickly to catastrophic events. A key objective will be to develop a set of services and infrastructure components which can operate in modern multi-domain and multi-technology network environments. This work is leveraging and extending existing systems including the open source Open Network Operating System (ONOS). This project includes testing and development on the MAX ONOS based testbed.
