I just finished up the BGP Hijacking project for CS6250. It’s a fun exercise; you have to set up a number of autonomous systems (AS) with different network segments in a network simulator, show them how to announce their segments to each other, and then have one of them snag the network address space of […]

CS6250 Spanning Tree Problem
I had a great time working on the Spanning Tree Problem for CS6250 this weekend. It’s a problem to identify an optimal tree that connects all subnets in a network. The algorithm we work through is iterative and distributed — each switch in the network has a view only of its own neighbours. But the […]
Georgia Tech Fediverse Club
I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech in Computer Science. I’m also a big fan of the Fediverse, the global alliance of independent, interoperable social networks. I am one of the co-authors of the ActivityPub protocol, the enabling technology that connects the fediverse together. As a special project for my coursework at Georgia Tech, […]
Starting Computer Networks
I’m doing my first lesson in Computer Networks CS 6250 today. It’s pretty intimidating, but I think I can do OK. There’s a lot to get into here.
