Independent Research Consultant on Internet Communications.
Since 2015 in various capacities Dr Bob Briscoe has
been leading transfer of Low Latency Low Loss Scalable throughput (L4S)
Internet technology from research to standardization and production.
From 2017 to 2023 this work has been through consulting contracts with
Apple and CableLabs, as well as being funded by three Innovation Awards
from
Comcast (2019, 2021 & 2022). From 2015-2017 he was Chief Research
Scientist in
Communications Systems with Simula Research Laboratory. Prior to that,
he had been BT's
Chief Researcher in Network Infrastructure and a
member of BT's Network Strategy team. His
expertise is in engineering, economic and social control of computer
networks. In
the late-1980s, he managed the transition to IP of many of BT's R&D
Labs. In 2000, he set-up and led the Market Managed
Multi-service Internet (M3I) consortium and incubated
a start-up that BT absorbed into its Internet QoS products. In 2007 he
helped initiate the Trilogy
project, which successfully
delivered re-definition of the Internet architecture through IETF
standardization.
Full BiographySince 2015 in various capacities Dr Bob Briscoe has been leading
transfer of Low Latency Low Loss Scalable throughput (L4S) Internet
technology from research to standardization and production. From 2017 to 2023 this work was through consulting contracts with Apple inc, and
CableLabs, the Colorado-based
not-for-profit research lab for about 60 major cable companies
world-wide, as well as being funded by three Innovation Awards from Comcast (2019,
2021 & 2022). From
2015-2017 he was Chief Research Scientist in Communications Systems with
the Oslo-based
Simula Research Laboratory. Prior to that, he had been BT's Chief Researcher in Network Infrastructure
and a
member of BT's Network Strategy team at BT's research labs in the UK. He joined BT in 1980
attaining a degree in
engineering from
the University of Cambridge in 1984, specialising in economics and
industrial sociology. Through part-time study, in 2009 he attained a
Computer Science PhD from UCL. The thesis concerned freedom with
accountability on the Internet.
In the late-1980s he managed the
transition to the Internet Protocol (IP) of many of BT's R&D Labs. in 1994 he moved
internally into BT Research and started representing BT on the HTTP
working group of the IETF and
in the ANSA distributed systems
research consortium, which led to the creation of the OMG and CORBA. In 2000 he initiated and
was technical director of the Market Managed Multi-service Internet (M3I)
consortium, a successful European collaboration that solved the problem
of controlling Internet quality using dynamic wholesale pricing, but
with flat retail pricing. He also helped incubate Qariba, an on-demand
bandwidth start-up that was ultimately re-absorbed into BT to form
BT's new Internet access products. Between 2001-2003 he managed BT's
Edge Lab which researched the interface between computing applications
and networks. In 2003 he initiated the
Communications Research Network (CRN),
a collaborative initiative to remove technical, commercial and
regulatory blockages to the future health of the communications
industry. In 2007 he helped initiate and lead the Trilogy
project, which won the Future Internet award in 2011 for successfully
delivering re-definition of the Internet architecture through IETF standardization. He continues to be heavily involved in generating, exploiting and standardizing
research
results, including three IETF work areas having been created to standardize his research: Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN, 2007-12), Congestion Exposure (ConEx, 2010-16), Low Latency Low Loss Scalable throughput (L4S, 2016-...) and convening and serving as first chair of the ETSI Network Functions Virtualiation (NFV)
Security Expert Group. Among a number of internal BT awards, he earned a
special award for the most patents filed in BT's history during the
20-year research part of his career within the company.
His published research, standards contributions and patent filings are
in the fields of Internet architecture, loosely coupled distributed systems, scalable network
QoS, including both capacity management and cutting latency, virtualization security, group
security & charging solutions, managing
fixed
and wireless network loading using pricing, denial of
service resistance, the economic
structure
of
communications markets and regularly slaying
myths about network economics.
