- Description
- The objective of the EdgeCT program is to bolster the resilience of communication over Internet Protocol (IP) networks solely by instantiating new capabilities in computing devices within user enclaves at the wide-area network (WAN) edge. Applied Communication Sciences (ACS) and its partners Apogee Research, MIT, University of Pennsylvania, and Texas A&M University propose to develop Distributed Enclave Defense Using Configurable Edges" (DEDUCE). DEDUCE is a bold new architectural approach to edge-directed network adaptation that incorporates novel approaches to sensing, actuation, and control, creating a robust and scalable system that exceeds EdgeCT goals and evolves in response to changes in the network. DEDUCE's Real-Time Network Analytics (RTNA) process observations from user application packets traveling to and from edge enclaves to infer WAN characteristics needed for high-quality decision making, such as differentiating between congestion and non-congestion packet loss. DEDUCE's Holistic Decision Systems (HDS) balance the often-opposing goals of Cumulative Network Utility (CNU) maximization and individual task utility. Simultaneously, DEDUCE employs tight-loop runtime control and observation to react and adapt flow treatments quickly in response to network events. DEDUCE's dynamically-configurable protocol stacks employ several actuators designed to mitigate the effects of network events while simultaneously scaling to support large-scale DoD networks.
