I am now a staff scientist at**ACIRI**, an AT&T-funded research institute atICSIin Berkeley, California. My new web pageis now at ACIRI. This page has not been maintained since February, 1999.

From May 1990 until February 1999, I was a staff scientist in the **Network Research Group**at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley.

Address and Phone Numbers.
Schedule.
Recent travel and talks(and a photo from our August trip to Switzerland).

Email address: floyd@aciri.org (though my old email address of floyd@ee.lbl.gov still works fine), and my PGP Public Key.
Note on email: I have not yet figured out how to deal with my email promptly while still managing to get some work done and have a life. So my apologies to colleagues, dearly-loved friends, and others who would appreciate a response to your email. I am doing the best I can.
I am not able to answer general requests for information. Questions about the ns simulator, for example, should be sent to one of the relevant ns mailing lists.
Other mailing lists that I read sporatically.

Networking papers, talks, and notes.

Pointers to**other papers** from a previous incarnation in theoretical computer science and computational learning theory. (Earlier lives include eight years as a computer systems engineer for the computers that run the BART trains, and before that, the Berkeley world of the late 60's and early 70's.)

Research projects include the following:

• CBQ(Class-Based Queueing, including link-sharing);
• ECN(Explicit Congestion Notification);
• RED gateways (Random Early Detection Gateways);
• SRM(Scalable Reliable Multicast);
• Increasing TCP's Initial Window, and pointers to**TCP, UDP, and Multiplexingand toother changes proposed to TCP**.
• TCP-Friendly Congestion Control;
• Concerns about End-to-End Congestion Control;
• Adaptive Web Caching;
• the VINT project, based on the UCB/LBNL Network Simulator ns (ns); Past research projects:
• EPD(Early Packet Discard, a frame discard strategy for ATM switches);
• **Measurement-based Admissions Control Procedures**for Controlled-Load traffic.
• SACK TCP(Selective Acknowledgment); Professional activities:
• vice-chair of ACM SIGCOMM, program committee member for SIGCOMM 99, and member of the Editorial Board forIEEE/ACM Transactions on NetworkingandIEEE Network.
• Intermittently-active member of several IETF working groups (TCPIMPL, DIFFSERV) and IRTFgroups (the Internet End-to-end Research Group,Reliable Multicast Research Group).
