Dear colleagues:
Attached is a position announcement for a Ph.D. job at Technology
University of Delft. Open the attachment for the full announcement with
contact details, but here is the essence of it:
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a technology that enables the network
operator to analyze Internet packets as they move through the network,
and make decisions about how to handle them based on their contents.
This research project will examine the deployment of DPI by Internet
service providers, and analyze its impact on Internet governance
policies and Internet users. The project will explore whether DPI
capabilities constitute a disruptive technology that will lead to major
changes in the way the Internet is governed and in the operational
practices and business models of Internet service providers. The Ph.D.
student would attempt to discover the extent to which Internet service
providers (ISPs) are deploying DPI and to identify the economic,
technical regulatory and political factors that promote and constrain
its use. DPI is already being deployed or proposed in areas such as
bandwidth management, content regulation, intrusion detection,
behavioral advertising and copyright enforcement. The overall purpose
would be to scientifically assess the implications of DPI deployment on
the privacy, security and freedom of Internet users.
We are seeking a full-time employee to pursue this research as their
Ph.D. project.
