DESCRIPTION:Wireless home networks are increasingly deployed in people’s
  homes worldwide. Unfortunately\, home networks have evolved using protoco
 ls designed for backbone and enterprise networks\, which are quite differe
 nt in scale and character to home networks. We believe this evolution is a
 t the heart of widely observed problems experienced by users managing and 
 using their home networks. In this presentation we investigate redesign of
  the home router to exploit the distinct social and physical characteristi
 cs of the home. We extract two key requirements from a range of ethnograph
 ic\nstudies: users desire greater understanding of and control over their 
 networks’ behaviour. We present our design for a home router that focuse
 s on monitoring and controlling network traffic flows\, and so provides a 
 platform for building user interfaces that satisfy these two user requirem
 ents.\n
