In a disaster, a delay can mean the difference between life and death. Emergency responders don’t have time to wait in traffic—even on the congested information superhighway.
That’s why researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are developing a faster and more reliable way to send and receive large amounts of data through the internet. By a creating a new network protocol, called Multi Node Label Routing protocol, researchers are essentially developing a new high-speed lane of online traffic, specifically for emergency information.
