Sanjay Khanna joined ODU Computer Science Master's program in fall, 1989. He finished is MS in fall, 1991 and PhD in summer, 1993. His worked under CS Chair, Dr. Kurt Maly. His thesis was on Multilevel Parallel Communications. His experience working with Solaris and SunOS kernel in the networking laboratory and building prototypes proved really useful all these years.
Sanjay first joined IBM Networking Software Division at RTP, NC right after school. He implemented zero-copy support and many other improvements in the OS/2 TCP/IP stack. He was part of the design organization that delivered the first commercial web browser and first product updates from the Internet. In 1999, Sanjay was part of the design team which produced world's fastest web-server on IBM mainframes. A description of his work cab be obtained here
In 2000, Sanjay joined Ericsson IP Infrastructure which was formerly a router startup (Torrent Networking Technologies). There he worked on provider edge (PE) routers designing proprietary line rate IPv4 forwarding, MPLS forwarding, Layer3 and Layer2 VPNs. He also taught an IP protocols graduate level course at NCSU Computer Science Department as adjunct faculty. He had acted as industry advisor for students at NCSU. Sanjay won the first prize in 2004 Ericsson Prototype Competition. His working prototype was about implementing a new way of doing the network traffic load distribution using a router. A patent resulted from this prototype. These days I spend my time designing resilient router software, adding virtualization to Linux kernel and architecting solutions for Ericsson's IP network needs.
