Goals
NCTU/CISCO internetworking technology lab was founded by Cisco
Systems, Inc in National Chiao Tung University. The purpose in setting
up this lab is to transfer high tech internet technologies back to Taiwan
and, on the other hand, to increase the competitiveness of Cisco internet
products with NCTU researchers.
Members
NCTU/CISCO internetworking technology lab is currently conducted by
Dr. Shiuh-pyng Shieh, also chair of the Department of Computer Science
and Information Engineering. Other full time researchers are distinguished
graduates from prestigious universities like NCTU, NTU and NTHU.
Facilities
There is a network telephone system in the lab, serving as testbed at
current stage. This system incorporates an automatic operating system,
connecting to Chinese Telecom and NCTU extension network.
Researches
In founding this lab, Cisco Systems, Inc. develops new system software
in a local market and emits its core techniques such as IOS operating
system for the first time. Currently, the research emphasis lies in
analyzing voice quality transmitting through internet. In the future,
the emphasis will be shifted to image qualities. This cooperation between
Cisco and NCTU will promote internetworking technologies in Taiwan to
an international level. Besides researches, this lab will carry out
technical services, technical consultation and technical trainings in
the future. Technical service will focus on tests in unity, safety,
effects and operation interchangeability of Cisco products. Technical
consultation provides consultant services for industries. Technical
training offers training courses for engineers in related areas. With
the combination of academic researches and internetworking technologies,
this lab is expected to push forward Taiwanˇ¦s research ability on internet
system tools.
