The Internet Systems Group at the University of Toronto engages in a range of experimental projects on Internet systems and services. Our interests span Web-based and peer-to-peer systems design, network measurement and traffic analysis, fault-tolerant Internet systems, wireless networking, and network security. Our mission is to investigate high-impact research avenues that will shape the next generation Internet systems and services.
