- Completed an investigation on Async Sockets for TCP Offload on HP-UX. Proposed Async Socket architecture and its interaction with PM, VM, FS subsystems. Implemented an Async Socket prototype on top of existing kernel socket subsystem on HP-UX.- Investigated, designed, and developed a Mobile IPv6 Streams module on top of the existing TCP/IP framework on HP-UX supporting both Home Agent and Correspondent Node features. Worked closely with the IPsec team on getting the interface working between the MIPv6 module and the IPsec module. - Developed a Mobile IPv4 gateway (not released) to support firewall traversal on HP-UX configured as a MIPv4 Home Agent.- Developed AAA (Diameter protocol) support for Mobile IPv4 on HP-UX.- Developed a Mobile IPv4 daemon on HP-UX which supports both HA and CN with routing optimization and reverse tunneling features. Installed and configured wireless Access Points and setup test ring with Cisco routers for Mobile IP testing.- Conducted various investigations on firewall, VPN appliance, L2TP over IPsec and IPsec HW accelerator support on HP-UX.- Responsible for testing, integration, and delivery tasks for the Raptor Firewall on HP-UX. Wrote a report comparing Raptor firewall against Checkpoint firewall.- Ported OSF’s Streams PTY device driver onto HP-UX kernel. Modified the rlogin code to support Streams PTY instead of BSD PTY.- Developed a console device driver for a high-end HP-UX server. - CPE (current product engineering) on various serial device drivers for PCI, EISA and NIO terminal multiplexer products on HP-UX. Worked closely with OEM vendor on getting the PCI and EISA drivers working on HP-UX.- Ported BART’s Central Computer System software from Data General’s AOS onto HP-FX (fault-tolerant HP-UX) . BART’s CCS software is a multi-thread, real time control and memory-resident database management application. It runs on a two DG’s in active and hot-standby modes.
