Support for most of my research projects comes primarily from the National Science Foundation and from industrial partners such as Comcast, Sprint Labs, Nortel Networks, and Siemens (see individual project pages for details).
The wiki for my Advanced Networking Protocols class is accessible here.
My Office hours are Monday and Wednesday 1:00-2:00pm. Note: These are not the same as last semester.
January 2012: The paper entitled “Pricing Strategies for User-Provided Connectivity Services,” co-authored with M. H. Afrasiabi has been accepted for presentation at the IEEE INFOCOM 2012 mini-conference, Orlando, FL, March 2012.
November 2011: The paper entitled “Assessing IPv6 Through Web Access – A Measurement Study and Its Findings,” co-authored with M. Nikkhah, Y. Lee, and R. Woundy was accepted for presentation (see slides) at the ACM CoNEXT 2011 Conference, Tokyo, Japan, December 2011.
October 2011: The paper entitled “On the Feasibility and Efficacy of Protection Routing in IP Networks,” co-authored with K.-W. Kwong, L. Gao, and Z.-L. Zhang was published in the October 2011 issue of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
August 2011: The paper entitled “Exploring User-Provided Connectivity - A Simple Model,” co-authored with M. H. Afrasiabi was accepted for presentation at the ICQT'11 Workshop, Paris, France, October 2011.
Our IPv6 Monitoring project and associated web site are now “officially” live (see the recent presentation -the audio unfortunately only starts about 7 mins into the presentation- at the Summer 2010 ESCC/Internet2 Joint Techs conference). This is a joint project with Comcast and supported by NSF and Comcast (see Comcast's own monitor web site). Send me an email if you are interested in running a local version of the software (please note that this implicitly assumes you are willing to allow uploading of your monitoring data into the global repository maintained at Penn).
Applications can be completed on-line using the ApplyYourself system. The application deadline for Fall 2012 admission is December 15, 2011. I will most likely admit at least one more Ph.D. student next Fall. In case you are interested in working with me, make sure you select in your application at least one of the two following areas of interest: “Social and Technological Networks” and “Wired and Wireless Communication Networks”.
The first area deals with topics that naturally arise in a “networked” environment where users, technology, services interact in a complex manner and together influence each others as well as the evolution of the entire networked systems. Some of the “network economics” projects I am currently involved in fall in that area. The second area targets more traditional networking issues such as routing, traffic engineering, network protocols and network usage, with an emphasis on making the various components of this key infrastructure as simple and robust as possible, so as to achieve the goal of an always on Internet.
My research is carried out under the auspices of the Multimedia and Networking Lab; a multi-disciplinary lab involving several faculty and exploring a variety of topics broadly connected by their dependency on “networks.” These topics span the various protocols layers, from the physical layer to the application layer, and embody the many opportunities and challenges behind realizing and leveraging ubiquitous communication. Projects in the lab also often involve a mixture of analysis and experiments, with experiments taking advantage of the several local and global testbeds available, many of which were built using equipment generously donated by industry partners.
