Worked on “Design and analysis of transport protocol over OBS” Under Dr.Vinod M. Vokkarane• Performance analysis of different versions of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over Optical Burst Switching (OBS) to increase TCP throughput and reduce burst loss using contention resolution techniques. • Identified the ill-effects of load-balancing on TCP-performance due to false-time-outs and false-triple-duplicates and proposed source-ordering to improve TCP-throughput by three-four times.• Investigated a service-oriented optical network architecture, developed methods for supporting reliable transport services in optical networks funded by NSF Service-Oriented Optical Networks (SOON) project Outcome: Achieved upto 4X improvement in certain TCP variants dependent on OBS contention type. Environment: Network Simulator (NS-2), Owns.
