The goal of the
ScaleBox project is to encapsulate our various research efforts regarding stealth multicast, packet caching, TCP acceleration, and tail synchronization into a single piece of software based on COTS hardware. In particular, we are focusing on developing server-side and client ISP software. In a larger sense, this work and our work on the Lockdown security feeds into our next research thrust of
data context as a first order field? , i.e.
should the why of data be as important as where it is going?.
The
ScaleBox software is currently in pre-alpha development. Weekly builds will start appearing at the end of October with the alpha release following our submission of the work to SIGCOMM 08. You can catch a preview of what our in-depth SIGCOMM paper will address through our on-line position paper regarding
ScaleBox found
here. During the process of developing
ScaleBox, we have also created a better
libpcap tutorial regarding reading and writing of packets.
