Research:

• Self Learning of New Computer Network Threats.
  New ways are being investigated to enable networking devices and nodes to identify and block new network threats, in real time, thus decreasing the time needed between a threat attacking a system and the defence being developed.
  
  
• Prioritisation of Real Time IP Packets Based on Level of Desperation.
  New ways are being investigated to enable the selective prioritisation by networking devices of real time packets by evaluating each session's effective throughput.
  
  
• Graceful Degradation of 4G.
  New ways are being investigated to enable the continuation of 4G communication in cases where the 4G infrastructure suffers catastrophic failure.
