Current Research Focus:

• Theoretical Analysis and Modeling of Botnets
Objective: Development of models to predict the growth and risk level of Botnets as well as evaluation of the effectiveness of Botnet mitigation strategies (the work has Peer-to-Peer and Telecom aspects).

• Interaction between the Peer-to-Peer traffic and current congestion control mechanisms
Objective: Evolving the congestion control mechanisms to better accommodate the P2P traffic with emphasis being on providing fairness between users and on enabling user-driven differentiated services.

• Peer-to-Peer Application Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO)
Objective: Designing an optimal mechanism to aid the peer selection algorithms of various P2P applications [Mechanisms such as P4P & ISP Oracles] to lower costs and optimize the use of ISP resources.
