The Chair "Internet Architecture and Management" conducts research at the intersection of networked and distributed systems, with a main emphasis on fundamental and algorithmic aspects. Our vision is that networked systems should become self-* (i.e., self-configuring, self-repairing, self-optimizing). Accordingly, we are currently particularly interested in automated and data-driven approaches to design, optimize, and verify networked systems.

Tasks:
We are looking for student workers interested in the topics of our research group and who would like to support the researchers of our group with the following tasks:

• Implementing protocols in a network simulator or Linux Kernel, C/C++/Python (40%),
• Conducting experiments on a real testbed or in network simulators to evaluate a set of protocols (20%),
• Generating plots using the given data (10%),
• Tabulating related work in a specific area (10%),
• Creating models (based on a given Linear Program) in solvers such as Gurobi (20%).

• Good knowledge of linux, bash and python scripting is required.
• Basic knowledge to work with files and contents using bash scripts for data post processing is required.
• Good knowledge of Python plotting eg., matplotlib, seaborn is required
• A strong networking background with good understanding of TCP/IP is required.
• Prior experience with NS3 or optionally OMNET++ is desired.
• Prior experience with Linux Kernel development or P4 programming or Machine learning libraries is desired.
• Solid background in C and C++ is desired.
• Background in queueing theory and/or congestion control and/or control systems is/are a plus.
• Good English language skills, oral as well as written skills, are required.
