Applied Research Center for Computer Networks (ARCCN) is a

Russian non-profit organization initially funded by Skolkovo and by

Industry Grants:

» To create a world-class core competency in Computer Networking in

Russia;

» Facilitate collaboration between Russian and international research,

scientific, educational and commercial experts and institutions;

» Establish a national program developing computer networking tools,

including design, configuration, installation and management;

» Promote commercialization of networking products and services;

» Create security solutions for:

• international commercialization;• the protection of National cyberspace.

National Interests

Computer networks is:

» One of the fundamentals of communication infrastructure in modern society;

» National security.

Industry problem: Russia DOES NOT participate in the value chain of creation and production network hardware and software (>90% - solutions of foreign vendors).

Academic problem: Russian universities DO NOT conduct world level research in the field of computer networks, DO NOT prepare professionals of the necessary level required by National industry.

!

!

The moment has come: ongoing revolution in networking opens NEW OPPORTUNTIES for Russian science and industry.!!!

To create a WORLD CLASS CORE COMPETENCY in computer Networking in Russia

Possible Solution:


One year ago …

We expect to create and develop:

» World-class core competency in Software Defined Networks in Russia;

» 2-3 SDN segments and research groups in Russian universities and labs;

» Experimental analysis of SND software tools developed in ON.lab;

» Scientific fundamentals of SDN operation;

» Development of the mathematical background for forwarding policy specification

language in SDN;

» Comparative analysis of SDN network operating system;

» Requirements for OpenFlow-switch Architecture;

» Algorithms for resource management and administration in SDN based Data Center

and wireless access networks;

» Mathematical model of network application normal behavior in SDN network which

allows to describe existing attack types on network information and computing

resources;

» SDN Knowledge Base and Technical support of SDN segments. A year has passed…
