The Security & Multimedia Networking Research Laboratory (MNLAB) was founded in 1998 to provide high-quality research in the area of multimedia networking, network management, and network security. Applications of particular interest to MNLAB include interactive distance leaning, scalable Internet monitoring, adaptive audio and video transport protocols, and next-generation network security. The MNLAB offers experimental testbed for CTI students in many advanced network courses such as Multimedia Networking (TDC 573), Internet Engineering (TDC562) and Network Management (TDC568), and Advanced Network Security (TDC572). The MNLAB provides an excellent environment that attracts graduate and undergraduate students to conduct research and course projects. The director of the MNLAB is Professor Ehab Al-Shaer (ehab@cs.depaul.edu). The MNLAB also includes number of CTI faculty members and several Ph.D., graduate and undergraduate students.

Facilities: The multimedia lab houses 27 multimedia workstations, which contain Sun Ultra-10 workstations, PC Linux, PC Window NT/XP, and 5 IXP1200 Intel Network Processors Machines. Some of the Ultra workstations are equipped with SUN PCI for supporting dual Operating Systems: Solaris 8 and Windows NT. The multimedia workstations are equipped with audio and video hardware programmable via multimedia development kit. The MNLAB workstations are connected with 100 Mbps network connected to Internet2 and the MBONE
