A strength of the Internet is that it is a federation of network providers instead of a monolithic infrastructure. However, this federation limits visibility into network configuration and operations and negatively impacts the capability of research and development efforts to model network behavior and topology, design protocols and/or new architectures, and study real-world properties such as robustness, resilience, and economics. The application of edge-based measurement and analysis techniques is key to overcoming these limitations. The secure measurement platform, Archipelago (Ark) supports large-scale active measurement studies of the global Internet. Since 2007 Archipelago has gathered a large set of network topology data which used for a broad spectrum of scientific research. Ark is a unique laboratory in which researchers can quickly design, implement, and easily coordinate the execution of experiments across a globally distributed set of dedicated monitors. This project will enhance Ark's capabilities and data products in order to support network research, providing empirical grounding for study of many real-world Internet phenomena, theoretical and practical efforts in network modeling and mapping; longitudinal studies of the Internet's historical evolution, and evaluation of potential future network architectures. The project consists of four infrastructure development tasks: (i) deploying a new hardware architecture that expands the scale and manageability of the infrastructure, (ii) integrating recent measurement technology advances to enable fundamentally new scientific experiments and data sets, (iii) upgrading the functionality of the measurement-on-demand web interface to the Ark platform, and (iv) creating a new interface for browsing, querying, and visualizing the data gathered.

互联网的优势在于，它是网络提供商的联合会，而不是整体基础架构。 但是，该联邦限制了对网络配置和操作的可见性，并对研究和开发工作的能力产生负面影响，以模拟网络行为和拓扑，设计协议和/或新体系结构，并研究诸如鲁棒性，弹性和经济性等现实世界的属性。基于边缘的测量和分析技术的应用是克服这些局限性的关键。安全的测量平台，群岛（ARK）支持全球互联网的大规模主动测量研究。自2007年以来，群岛已收集了大量网络拓扑数据，这些数据用于广泛的科学研究。 ARK是一个独特的实验室，研究人员可以在该实验室中快速设计，实施和轻松协调在全球分布的专用监视器集中执行实验。该项目将增强ARK的功能和数据产品，以支持网络研究，为研究许多现实世界的互联网现象，网络建模和映射方面的理论和实践努力提供经验基础；对互联网历史演变的纵向研究，以及对潜在的未来网络体系结构的评估。 The project consists of four infrastructure development tasks: (i) deploying a new hardware architecture that expands the scale and manageability of the infrastructure, (ii) integrating recent measurement technology advances to enable fundamentally new scientific experiments and data sets, (iii) upgrading the functionality of the measurement-on-demand web interface to the Ark platform, and (iv) creating a new interface for浏览，查询和可视化收集的数据。
