Personal Projects

Software Defined Networking (SDN)
2016
C
Network
Development and Testing of OpenFlow agent on Nexus and IOS operating systems and platforms such as Nexus 3000 and 9000 series, Catalyst 2000 and 3000 series. OpenFlow agent is an application running on Cisco routers which can talk to external Controllers using OpenFlow Protocol and program the flows in hardware.
Location ID Seperation Protocol
2017
C
Network
Embedded C
Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is a network architecture and protocol that implements the use of two namespaces instead of a single IP address: Endpoint identifiers (EIDs)—assigned to end hosts. Routing locators (RLOCs)—assigned to devices (primarily routers) that make up the global routing system. Splitting EID and RLOC functions yields several advantages including improved routing system scalability, and improved multihoming efficiency and ingress traffic engineering. LISP functionality requires LISP-specific configuration of one or more LISP-related devices, such as the LISP egress tunnel router (ETR), ingress tunnel router (ITR), proxy ETR (PETR), proxy ITR (PITR), map resolver (MR), map server (MS), and LISP alternative logical topology (ALT) device.
