Lab Description

The Internet Systems Laboratory is a scientific engineering laboratory focused on the Internet as the principal subject. We make new observations of men, machines, and nature in order to engineer new infrastructure detail, and to discover emergent new processes. Our engineering goal is to improve the functioning of the Internet. This includes improvements to all aspects of the system:

  1. increase its service across people of all kinds and all ages,
  2. scale to billions of computers,
  3. facilitate access to all the terabytes of information and computer programs,
  4. decrease effective latencies to milliseconds,
  5. operate at effective speeds to billions of bytes per second,
  6. move trillions of dollars and services electronically every year.
