The InterEdge is an architecture for edge networking services that provides in-network functionality -- for security, privacy, and beyond -- in a way that is consistent with core Internet tenets like layering, interconnection, and end-to-end simplicity.

The InterEdge is a networking research project with major academic contributors at Columbia, Mount Holyoke College, New York University, UC Berkeley, and University of Washington in addition to partners in the broader research community and networking industry.
Given the ubiquity of edge networking services, our ultimate goal is to provide insight into how we might guide the networking ecosystem towards a future that best serves society’s need by providing a global, extensible, and neutral platform for application deployment that augments the existing Internet.
Some of our work on the InterEdge was presented at the ACM SIGCOMM conference in Sydney Australia last year. If you missed it, you can get caught up by reading the paper (An Architecture for Edge Network Services) and watching the talk.
We also presented at the FABRIC KNIT Workshop in March of 2025.
We are currently preparing to roll out an InterEdge testbed built largely atop of the FABRIC network testbed. We're using this to test some prototype services, gain deployment experience, and debug our prototype code! We're planning to expand this testbed both in terms of footprint (making use of other underlying networks), and in terms of the services it offers. Perhaps most excitingly, we are also planning to increasingly make our existing services available to wider audiences, and to open up the InterEdge platform to services developed by others.
In addition to the links above (e.g., our SIGCOMM paper), you might be interested in our WIP code documentation.
