The Networks and Communications Services (NETCOM) Research Group, led by Professor Dr. Arturo Azcorra, is part of the Telematics Engineering Department at University Carlos III of Madrid. Detailed contact information can be found here.
NETCOM Research Group works in close collaboration with the international research Institute IMDEA Networks on various research projects and scientific activities. Their symbiotic relationship provides many opportunities for researchers in both organizations to exchange ideas and to extend their knowledge. The two groups conduct complementary research in the areas of network architectures, communication protocols, wireless and mobile networks, peer-to-peer systems and distributed services.
A career in research

04/03/2012 - Transit for-Peering “TP4” Interconnection for Cost Reduction in Internet traffic
A new research study carried out by Institute IMDEA Networks proposes a new type of interconnection between Internet Service Providers (ISPs) named “T4P” (Transit for-Peering). TP4 allows two diverse ISPs to peer without exchanging monetary payments. This hybrid interconnection is intended to strengthen Internet connectivity by liberating peering from economic constraints and actually reducing the total transit bill of the ISPs involved.
