Hi All The Waikato University Network Research group (WAND) is currently going through a process of reviewing its goals and we would welcome input from the New Zealand Internet community. We are currently heavily measurement focused. Projects include: o Collection and publishing of Internet header traces (see, for example, http://wand.cs.waikato.ac.nz/wand/wits/auck/4/ and http://moat.nlanr.net/pma) o Active measurement (see http://amp.nlanr.net/) o Passive measurement hardware for OC3, OC12, OC48 and 10/100 Ethernet. (see http://dag.cs.waikato.ac.nz) o Simulation and statistical modelling of Internet traffic. See some of the papers at http://wand.cs.waikato.ac.nz) Many of our activities are focused outside NZ. We have very strong links with NLANR and CAIDA (two members of our group lead the NLANR measurement projects AMP and PMA, for example). If the opportunity exists we would like to see some of the activity of the WAND team supporting the New Zealand industry through research that is interesting to us and also meets needs here. We're open to any suggestions but a couple occur immediately: o Are there parts of the New Zealand infrastructure for which it would be valuable to make passive header traces and to do analysis? o Would a NZ AMP-like system be of interest to people? (I.E. active measurement of delay, loss and path etc). If you have any suggestions, or comments, please let me have them.
