My Research Work

NorNet – A Real-World, Large-Scale Multi-Homing Testbed

Multi-homing denotes the simultaneous connection of endpoints (e.g. cloud server, smartphone, etc.) to multiple Internet Service Providers (ISP). That is, the endpoints remain reachable even when some of the ISPs have problems (e.g. malfunction of hardware or break of cables). Besides the redundancy aspect, multi-homing can also provide load sharing among the access links, in order to increase the application bandwidths. The fast-growing need for and deployment of resilience-critical applications makes large-scale testing and evaluation in realistic Internet setups necessary. NorNet is a platform for such experiments, providing programmable nodes distributed over Norway and – in the near future – further nodes distributed all over the world.
For more details on NorNet, see NorNet – A Real-World, Large-Scale Multi-Homing Testbed!

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is an advanced Transport Layer protocol which may some day replace TCP. Focus of my research on SCTP is the optimization of Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT), which means to simultaneously utilise multiple paths within the network to increase application data throughput. Besides my research work on CMT-SCTP, I am also involved in the IETF standardisation process of this protocol extension.
For more details on my project, see The SCTP Project Page!

Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool)

Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) denotes a new IETF standard for the management of server pools and sessions with these pools. This standard provides both, high reliability (by redundancy of servers) as well as load balancing (by appropriate distribution of requests to the servers in a pool). For that purpose, RSerPool works on the Session Layer of the OSI model. I am actively involved in the IETF standardisation of RSerPool, in form of my Open Source implementation rsplib as reference implementation of the IETF Working Group, my simulation model rspsim in OMNeT++, as well as various research works and IETF contributions.
For more details on my project, see The rsplib Project Page!

Flow Routing

Flow routing is a novel concept for efficient high-speed routing. Combining the flow routing concept with Quality of Service (QoS), a network can efficiently cope with the requirements of modern multimedia applications. The main goal of our flow routing project is to develop, evaluate and finally also standardize a QoS concept for assuring the bandwidth requirements of multimedia applications – requiring only minimal signalling overhead.

My Software Projects

• 2011 – ...: The RTP Audio NextGen System
  RTP Audio NextGen is an audio streaming system with support for SCTP as well as UDP transport. It is a highly advanced and reworked version of the former RTP Audio system with support for SCTP streams and SCTP partial reliability. Furthermore, it also contains a QoS management interface. RTP Audio NextGen may use layered encoding, that is the audio quality may be adapted according to the QoS that is achievable in the network. The main purpose of this tool is to support transport protocol and QoS research, by providing a realistic application for performance testing.

  rsplib is the Open Source implementation of the IETF's Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool, RFC 5351) framework. The implementation is written in ANSI-C and C++. Currently, it supports Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X and Solaris. Its intention is to validate the RSerPool drafts currently under standardization by the IETF and to verify results from my simulative research. As part of my RSerPool research in the context of my Ph.D. thesis, multiple Internet Drafts have been contributed to the IETF's standardization process. Meanwhile, rsplib has become the IETF RSerPool Working Group's reference implementation of RSerPool.

• 2003: The Fractal Generator Project
  FractalGenerator is a KDE-based Open Source program under Linux – written in C++ – to generate fractal images (e.g. the Mandelbrot set). The size of the calculated images is only limited by the computer's virtual memory. This program has been developed as an example for object-oriented programming and creating Qt/KDE applications for the University of Duisburg-Essen's Linux Workshop in 2003.

• 2000 – 2001: The RTP Trace System
  An Open Source, Linux-based real-time network streaming test system that uses traces of various media types (MPEG 1/2, H.263, MP3, ...). It is realized in C++. This project is part of my Masters Thesis at the University of Bonn, Germany.

• 1999 – 2001: The RTP Audio System
  A Linux-based Open Source real-time network audio streaming system, supporting DiffServ, IPv6 and IPv6 flowlabels. Server and clients have been written in C++, a Java client is realized using JNI (Java Native Interface). The system has been a study project at the University of Bonn, Germany. My responsibility has been the implementation of the client/server transmission system itself, including the media codecs and the RTP protocol as well as the client GUI based on the Qt Toolkit.

• 2000: Prüfungsamt-Projekt – A Student and Exam Management Tool
  A SQL-based, Open Source database application under Linux, written in C++, using the Qt GUI Toolkit and PostgreSQL, to simplify the work of the University's exams office (Prüfungsamt) using database transactions and triggers. It has been a study project at the University of Bonn, Germany. My responsibilities have been the GUI realization and the SQL trigger implementation.

• 1994 – 2000: The MusicBox Project
  MusicBox is an audio CD playing application and management system for AmigaOS, realized in C. In particular, this software uses the SCSI interface to take advantage of all audio playing capabilities of the CD-ROM drive (e.g. channel selection, volume control, position information). This software has been shareware and is now Open Source.

• 1998 – 1999: The RandGraph Project
  The continuation of the TriGraph project (see below): the random generation of different types of graphs and their visualization, realized in C++ using the Qt GUI Toolkit.
