Research

Jörg Liebeherr investigates new approaches to meet the demand for a richer functionality of the global Internet without sacrificing high scalability inside the core infrastructure. Jörg Liebeherr's research focuses on two major additions to the basic IP service: transmission with service assurance (Quality-of-Service) and data dissemination to large sets of receivers (multicast). He recently established the VINTLab, an innovative teaching laboratory for applied computer networking.
