ACADEMIC PROJECTS
 Network Management Tool using SSH/Telnet: Developed a python application that configures and monitors various
Parameters of a Router/Switch at a certain time interval using Linux task scheduler and stores the information in MySQL.
 Network Management Tool using SNMP: Developed a python application that extracts information from a router running
OSPF and then plots a network map of the entire OSPF topology. Real-time analysis of Latency and packet losses.
 Subnet Calculator: Developed a Subnet Calculator application in Python
 OpenStack: Cinder Volume Mount and Format
 Data Center Test Bed: Set up of a Data center based on OpenStack architecture for management
 Calculation of Percentile of End-to-End Delay for IMS SIP Servers: Packet Classification and queue scheduling. Designed a
Discrete Event Simulator in Java to simulate and perform queueing analysis of priority/non-priority customer traffic
 Enterprise Switched Network Design and Management: Designed and implemented a hierarchical, scalable, modular,
Isolated and a redundant network topology.
 Providing Rate Guarantee of TCP Flow in Presence of UDP Flow using SDN: Setting up a classification rule in OVS using
Floodlight controller and Openflow as the communication protocol to provide the allocated throughput to TCP flows.
