Predicting the Resource Consumption of a NIDS

Last week at SIGMETRICS 2008, we presented a poster on Predicting the Resource Consumption of Network Intrusion Detection Systems. The extended abstract describes the work in a bit more detail; the full paper will appear at RAID 2008 later this year.

Posters on Architectural Work

We have been thinking about several areas of network architecture. At last week's NSF FIND PI meeting we presented two posters on some of this work.

The first poster is about finding the right network architecture to enable effective network troubleshooting. The poster is here.

The second poster deals with trying to find the right architectural elements and abstractions to enable end-hosts to retain their network standing while powering down to conserve energy. Check the poster here. (Also, you can look at the previously mentioned HotNets paper on this topic, which is available here.)

Comments on either of these efforts would be appreciated.
