ACADEMIC PROJECTS

NETWORKING SOFTWARE

Caching at NAT Gateway for web traffic reduction, Congestion

Control (C on Linux kernel) Oct' 08

. Cached and transmitted hash of web requests and server responses

instead of actual response to reduce traffic.

. Successfully tested for drop in Internet traffic between client-server

due to caching HTTP requests using Wireshark.

. Designed congestion control algorithm : stripping data across parallel

TCP connections, end-end reordering.

Reliable UDP communication between two nodes using a Linux Kernel

Module (C) Aug' 08

. Achieved reliability in captured UDP packets by adding sequence

numbers, acknowledgements, retransmissions.

. Used separate threads for listening to acks and retransmission.

Maintained linked list for each UDP packet.

Routing performance analysis of WiFi Mesh Network of 4 Nodes (C++)

Mar' 09

. Implemented ETT routing metric by modifying madwifi driver's

SampleRate algorithm.

. Successfully tested for improvement in routing performance (vs

hopcount), even during busy Internet access hours.

Hands on experience, Linux Networking Lab, CSC Department NCSU

Aug' 08 - Nov' 08

. Set up OSPF and MPLS on a Cisco Series 7200 router emulated by

Dynamips using GNS3 UI.

. Analyzed network packets used by protocols RSVP-TE, LDP using

Wireshark. Set up an MPLS-TE tunnel.

. Set up NAT, DHCP, DNS, SNMP, NFS, Apache web services in a LAN.

Configured firewalls. Tested on Wireshark.
