Network measurement and the DAG card project
Ian Graham
In 1994 the networks research group at the University of Waikato in New
Zealand began a programme of network measurement research. To support
this we developed network measurement cards, later called "DAG" cards,
that could be used to record packet headers on high speed networks with
very high precision timing.
This seminar describes the process of development of the DAG cards, the
DAG architecture and applications, some of the results of the network
measurement programme, and the eventual commercialisation of the
project to form Endace Technology Ltd.
Bio
For the thirteen years until February 2003 Ian Graham was Dean of the
School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the University of
Waikato, New Zealand. His research interests have included radio
astronomy, archaeological science and statistics, heraldry, parallel
processing using transputers and, most recently, network performance
measurement. He is now a professor in Waikato's Department of Computer
Science, and Chairman and CTO of the Endace Group.
