About

I am a Network Researcher based out of Haryana, India. I got a lot of interest in Networking Technologies – the way Internet works, DNS, BGP routing, Network Peering, IXPs, IPv6 etc. Presently I am working at Hurricane Electric (AS6939). My work goes closely around BGP routing, IXPs, DNS, IPv6, anycast and other related aspects of Internet core.

In my free time I play around with open source tools, write random code to detect & measure stuff, automate stuff etc.
