Stanford computer scientist Nick McKeown developed a standard called OpenFlow that allows researchers to tap into Internet switches and routers to easily test new networking technologies with the click of a mouse - all without interrupting normal service.
McKeown researches on techniques to improve the Internet. Most of this work has focused on the architecture, design, analysis, and implementation of high-performance Internet switches and routers.
More recently, his focus has been on network architecture, backbone network design and how the Internet might be redesigned if we were to start with a clean slate.
