The Plug & Network paradigm: a new way of designing networks

When: Friday, March 23th, 2018, 9:00 AM.

Where: Sala H-312C, GTA/UFRJ.

The objective of this presentation is to introduce the new paradigm that will be used from 2020:  the “Plug &Network” concept. This concept allows to derive new network architectures ranging from a completely centralized architecture to a fully distributed solution. We will examine the pros and cons of these different architectures to try to imagine architectures that should be deployed in the 2020s.

Guy Pujolle is a pioneer in high-speed networking having led the development of the first Gbps network to be tested in 1980. He is also the inventor of Virtual Access Points with the corresponding patent. He was chairman of the French Research Network REUNIR from 1987 to 1991, one out of the three members of the Wisdom Committee (Lars Backstrom, Brian Carpenter, Guy Pujolle) to decide on the future of TCP/IP in the European research network (decision January 22, 1990 to choose TCP/IP as the technology to be used for Europe instead of ATM). Chairman of the expert committee of the Ministry of Telecommunications for Telecommunication regulation (1992-1998). Guy Pujolle was Technical Chairman of the WLANSmartCard consortium for normalizing security and mobility in wireless LANs using a smartcard (2002-2006).
