Open Source Contribution

Unsplashed background img 1
With computer networks being one of my major field of interest, I have been actively contributing to ns-3 source repository.
DHCP for ns-3

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol module for ns-3.12 was RFC non-compliant with only DHCP discover and DHCP offer implemented. I ported it to the latest ns-3 version, and modified it to follow RFC.

IPv6 Support for OLSR in ns-3

I have implemented support for IPv6 in the existing Optimised Link State Routing Protocol in ns-3.25

IPv6 Support for DSDV in ns-3

I have implemented support for IPv6 in the existing Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Routing Protocol in ns-3.25

Python 3 support for Bake

I updated the python 2 compatible Bake source tree to make it compatible with python 3.

Python 3 support for ns-3 utilities

I modified ns-3 python utilities to make them compatible with python 3

TCP LEDBAT for ns-3

I implemented LEDBAT as a TCP congestion control flavour for ns-3.

Updating Tmix Traffic Generation module

I modified the existing tmix ns-3 for ns-3.21 to worked with latest ns-3 versions. Also, I have worked to remove hard coded chunks, provide support for felix connection vectors and shuffling on tmix traces.

Common TCP Evaluation Suite for ns-3

Worked on the implementation of a suite to evaluate TCP variants in ns-3 using real time traffic generated by Tmix. It was based on an IETF internet draft of same name.

BakeIntegration

I modified the bake system according to this functional specification for supporting contributed code .

Implementation of M-DART Routing Protocol in ns-3

The distributed hash tree based multipath routing protocol for MANET was ported from ns-2 to ns-3.

Parallelisation of Bake resolution process

I implemented the previously unimplemented parallel resolution process of the Bake source code.

Enabling CastXML support for ns-3 python bindings

With CastXML replacing gccxml, I am currently working to update the API scanning code flow of ns-3 to work with the same.

My Summer Internship 2015

Unsplashed background img 1

MOOG India

In Summer of 2015, I interned at Moog Technology Center Bangalore to build a embedded operating system for a TEGRA Jetson K1 board to use the cores effectively. It was a great learning experience for me. It was my first exposure to working in industry and I really enjoyed it. It started on 1st June 2015, in Electronic City of Bangalore. I can divide the whole internship into two phases both of 15 days as the internship ended after a month. The first phase was the knowledge gathering phase where I looked into the existing multicore operating systems. These included Akaros, Barrelfish, Baremetal etc. The biggest challenge of this internship was to use minimal space, as it had to be a part of embedded system. The next phase was to use this gathered knowledge to design the system. The development language for this internship was C.

My Summer Internship 2016

Ode of Code

In January of 2017, I started writing about my experiences with programming, coding and hacking. This blog is not an attempt to put something which is new. This blog is just a medium to circulate some tricks which I picked up over time and which a lot of people generally miss. Go to the blog
