Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of computer network protocols. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances over the current state of the art. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. The Military Networking Protocol (MNP) program will develop a network prioritization system with full user-level attribution for military computer networks. The protocols, techniques, and devices developed in the program will de-anonymize network data flows for those computers and network enclaves using MNP technology. Clearly identifying network traffic will allow the network infrastructure to explicitly provide prioritization levels at both the individual and unit level, reallocate bandwidth between users or classes of users, and automatically make quality of service decisions. The de-anonymized MNP traffic will be compatible with and transit existing Internet infrastructure carrying legacy Internet traffic. MNP-enabled networks may allow or deny entry or transit by unauthenticated data flows, and will transmit data as fast as (or faster than) existing legacy network protocols. Hardware developed in this program will be self-configuring and will greatly reduce the need for trained network personnel and overall network’s maintenance cost.
