Embedded IP Raffi Krikorian
Building Internet0 • Traditional networking hardware research focuses on bigger and faster pipes (Internet2) • We focus on bit-dribbling hardware
Bridging the bandwidth divide • Bringing IP to the leaf node • Revisiting hardware transports and redesigning logical transports • Cheap, low bandwidth IP (a level below Ethernet)
Going really small • Distributed scalable system -- no central points of control • Self organizing • Growing
Building the small things • PIC microcontrollers • Delayered TCP/IP stack and HTTPd (3K code) • RS-485 communication
What to do with all of this? • Embedded IP allows us to build/learn/play with distributed systems • First test installation was in Barcelona, moving towards second • CBA’s new home is first permanent testbed
