Three ways of looking at me.

I joined the Computer Science department in Auckland in September 2007 and I was appointed Professor in January 2009. I have a part-time (60%) position, so I am not in the Department every day.

My research interests are focussed on Internet infrastructure issues including routing and addressing. In recent years I have been active in Internet protocol design, mainly in the IETF. I am particularly interested in scaling issues and the much-needed deployment of IPv6. I'm also interested in related measurement issues, and to some extent in quality of service issues.

Here's a list of organisations related to Internet standards that I've been maintaining for some years.

Publications.

Current and recent talks.

A letter to the Free Software Foundation.

A Dialogue on the Internet (with Cris Calude). Also published in Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science 95, June 2008, pp. 24-34.

IET New Zealand 2008 Prestige Lecture tour.

In 2009 I am teaching parts of CS314 (semester 2) and CS742 (semester 2).

Odd jobs.
