Title:  Automating IP prefix assignment in enterprise networks using tree and tree-like network topologies

Presented By:  Lee Blake – Computer Science Undergraduate Student

Abstract:  The specific assignments of IP prefixes to subnets can dramatically affect the size of routing tables in the network. Minimizing the size of these routing tables is desirable, as it allows enterprises to utilize more affordable network hardware. This talk will discuss how certain structures in the network offer opportunities for optimizing assignment to minimize these tables. Additionally, a novel algorithm for automating this assignment will be presented.

Bio:  Lee is a undergraduate student in the department who worked on this topic during an independent study with Dr. Xin Sun. He will be graduating this semester with a concentration in Cybersecurity & Secure Software Design and a minor in Chinese Language. In his free time, Lee enjoys running, video games, and archery.
