Hello! Welcome to my webpage! ;@)
This web-site is still under construction, so please bear with me whilst I iron out the bugs and tidy up the interface (and fill in the pages....). If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email me at ytl@hep.ucl.ac.uk.
When finished, I hope this site will contain up to date stuff on my degree - which, in case you haven't guessed is about networking. Currently, my main interests are in:
- Characterising networks at Gig speed
- Characterising hosts for high speed performance
- Optimisation of High Speed Networks
- Investigating new TCP implementations; eg HSTCP, ScalableTCP, FAST etc.
- Performance of TCP and Quality of Service
- Quality of Service and Managed Networks
- GridFTP and its role in middleware
- Dynamic network resouce allocation API's.
Contents
| PERSONAL | Contains 'personal' information - duh! Will have loads of pictures (as soon as i get my scanner working) and other stuff that might interest you if you know me... or not.. like if you are a pervert or something... |
| MISC | Contains stuff that is generic, or just doesn't really fit anywhere else. Will prob contain loads of little tips and short programs. |
| Monitoring | By monitoring network state with active and passive techniques, one hopes to be able to determine certain characteristic of network paths. By designing a flexible and coherent architecture for the collection and initialisation of monitoring tools, future networks will be able to offer middleware state information on the network state. |
| TCP/IP | Information about Internet (and Intranet) transport protocols. Based heavily on the understanding and monitoring/instrumentation of how real life TCP performs. Also includes information on new transport protocols (Tsuami & Sabul) and adjustments to current TCP stacks (eg HSTCP, ScalableTCP, FAST etc.) and it's performance in real networks. |
| MB-NG | Managed Bandwidth - Next Generation is a project to enable and quantify QoS. This page will contain specific experimental documents and technical information. |
| GRID | The new internet. This is what my PhD is based on, so expect loads of boring info here. Also things to do with EU DataGrid (esp WP7). |
| QoS | Hmmm... don't really know yet. I'm supposed to learn about this stuff! |
| Multicast | Ditto! |
Whats New
At the moment.. EVERYTHING! Until I have something resembling a stable website, this bit will prob be like this... just click on the links and stuff and you'll probably work out the new things...
| Linux Limitations on Throughput | There are many differences between IETF and implementated features on the Linux 2.4 kernel. This highlights the main ones with performance graphs. Here. |
| PhD page | A page to contain stuff and documents for my formal phd thesis. here. |
| Network Analysis | Analysis of the CERN-RAL link here. |
| HighSpeed TCP | Implementation of a new TCP stack for GigE speeds. here. Initial results here! |
| Iperf | Experimental investigation of a TCP active measurement tool. here. |
| CV | My resume is here! Check it out here if you want to give me a job :@) |
| Network Simulator | Details of how i'm getting along. here. |
| MB-NG | Configuration and testing of TCP/IP stacks here. |
| Reavars | Web100 logging program. Updated. |
| Network Calculus | 'Network Calculus is a collection of results based on Min-Plus algebra, which applies to deterministic queuing systems found in communication networks'. here. |
| Packet Trace Analysis | Monitoring and infering TCP from segment dumps. here. |
