Past projects
IDS
The aim of the IDS project is the development of a network intrusion detection (NIDS) device -- an integrated software/hardware tool capable of detecting unauthorised access to computer systems or networks and malicious network traffic such as viruses, trojan horses and worms. NIDS device combines packet classification and payload scanning.
Liberouter
The aim of the Liberouter project is the development of a dual-stack (IPv6 and IPv4) gigabit router based on the standard PC architecture with a high-performance hardware accelerator of packet forwarding and filtering. This way we can improve the throughput of a PC router platform compared to the software-only solution.
Scampi
The main objective of the EU project SCAMPI was to develop a high-performance monitoring adapter for link speed up to 10 Gbps. When dealing with multi-gigabit traffic rates, it is no more possible to monitor incoming data flows using conventional computers with network interfaces, mainly due to the limited throughput between the network interface and CPU. The functionality of the SCAMPI monitoring adapter was therefore divided between the software part (used mainly for adapter configuration and control) and dedicated hardware -- the COMBO6 card that was designed for processing performance critical parts of the system using the FPGA technology.
