4 Research Team Lead I worked as a team lead of NetForAll project. The project goal was to setup an OpenFlow based, wired & wireless (wifi + wimax), testbed at SEECS. We successfully implemented a small scale lab-wide testbed. In this activity, I had hands-on experience of network configuration, Linux kernel programming and NetFPGA s programming.
