Change Detection in Network Data Streams for Alcatel

Alcatel manufactures telecommunications equipment, ranging from telephone handsets to internet routers. The Research & Innovation group within Alcatel is mandated with evaluating new technologies and new ideas that may benefit Alcatel products, thereby benefiting Alcatel’s customers, and ultimately the end users. One current area of research is the ability to detect when the behavior of a stream of traffic has changed, and to then reallocate resources suitable for the changed stream. This collaborative internship project targets algorithm to detect when such a change has occurred, given the restricted computing power available for such features at the router level.
