Introduction
Cost/performance, new services and higher user expectations are all drivers for ultra-reliable routing. The Reliable Router Research (R3) project is focused on research and prototyping of software technologies for a next generation control plane. Amongst the many goals are extending the control model from single routers to routing complexes, resilient transport protocols and dynamic software updating. Please check the site for updates, and also see the Nebula Future Internet Architecture project, which applies results from R3 to build a more secure future Internet.
