I am an Internet engineer. The focus of my work is on high-performance IP transport protocols that don't congest the network. I apply these to peer-to-peer systems.
Worked on network measurement: author of RFC 4656 on One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP), also RFC 4737, RFC 3763. Among other things,
developed a network measurement tool called Thrulay.
Researched Quality of Service (QoS), became mostly disillusioned with the area, which later fed into policy work on network neutrality.
My contributions to the field of computer security range from vulnerability discovery to tools (e.g., the secure temporary directory cleaner, stmpclean) to analysis of TCP resource consumption. My netkill tool can bring down any web server with the attacker requiring very modest resources.
Interested in startups and entrepreneurship.
