Current projects :

• RNA

  Exploring the relationship between protocol stacks and network architecture as part of the NSF's FIND program.

   

• DataRouter

  Extending IP forwarding with string substitutions as 'Loose Source Routes'. IP packet LSRs contain strings, and forwarding table entries are string match and replacement commands, ala SED (string editor). Designed to provide application-layer forwarding in network layer PDUs, to integrate CDNs and advanced network services with conventional high-performance network forwarding.

   

   

• Fast and Easily Deployed Security

  Ways to make Internet network and transport security more efficient, deployable, and sustainable.

   

   

• Packets over Wavelengths (POW) & OCDMA

  Examining an architecture for optical packet routing, using novel protocols for dynamic allocation of WDM paths and optical CDMA techniques.

   

• GeoNet

  Geographic delivery via dynamic directional routing on an overlay network.

   

Past Projects

• TCA

  Supporting the USAF's Transformational Communications Architecture program.

   

• ATP (Agile Tunneling Protocol)

  Developed a system for DDOS protection of public servers using a dynamic tunneling system.

   

• NetFS

  A file system interface to configure network parameters on host operating systems.

   

• X-Tend

  Developing the X-Bone system for classroom and research use.

   

• Dynabone

  System that extends X-Bone overlays with dynamic fault and security adaptation.

   

• X-Bone 

  Tool for the automated deployment and management of IP-level overlay networks.

   

• LSAM - Large-Scale Active Middleware

  Multicast web push technology to help the web scale better and operate more efficiently when deployed on a large scale.

   

• ATOMIC-2 Gigabit Networking

  Bringing gigabit LAN performance into the workstation. My research addresses fault-tolerant routing, high-speed authentication algorithm design and analysis, and high-performance web server issues.

   

• PC-ATOMIC i486 VL-bus Interface Card

  A host interface, physical-level compatible with Myricom's Myrinet LAN. The board is capable of programmed I/O at 80 Mbps, including zero-overhead IP checksum in hardware.
