Research Interests
Background
My primary interests are in the broad areas of network protocols and distributed network applications.
In the past, I have worked on topics such as transport/routing protocols for wireless networks, fast protocol stack implementations, RAID system design, performance prediction for Internet transfers, Web server benchmarking, new approaches to congestion control, firewall design and improvements to the TCP protocol.
My current work explores new approaches in wireless networking, online multiplayer games.
