Three multi-institutional projects are advancing their efforts to develop the architectures that may underlie the Internet of the future. Through a $15 million from the National Science Foundation, the projects will move their development work into the limited test phase. The projects had been awarded three-year, $8 million grants back in 2010 to begin work on building a “more trustworthy and robust Internet.” With the new funding, the work done to date will be tested in real-world settings, which follow on some limited pilot tests. CMU is leading one NSF grant, called Deployment-Driven Evaluation and Evolution of the eXpressive Internet Architecture (XIA). Partners with CMU on the XIA project include Boston University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Duke University.
