Research

My research interests are in scalable router primitives for network measurement, attack monitoring, fault diagnosis in networked systems, and
more recently, performance optimizations in cloud environments. I lead the SyN lab at Purdue that conducts research in Systems and Networking.
My recent publications (full list here) are on the following projects.

Per-Hop Latency Estimation Primitives

Multiflow Estimator: Scalable per-flow latency estimation in routers using two timestamps per flow (INFOCOM 2010)
Lossy Difference Aggregator (LDA): Scalable data structure for tracking microsecond latencies (SIGCOMM 2009,ReARCH 2009)

Scalable Router-Level Measurement Primitives

Application-aware sampling architecture
CLAMP: Scalable mechanism for providing different sampling rates for different types of flows (INFOCOM 2009)

Fault Localization in Networked Systems

dFault: Scalable fault localization in Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs)
SpotLight: Scalable fault localization in Enterprise Applications
