Dr. Pascal Mérindol

Pascal Mérindol's picture

I come from the University of Strasbourg (UdS) where I received my Doctoral degree in Computer Science. Currently, I am Research Assistant at the Université Catholique de Louvain in the INL group.
My research interests include intra- and inter-domain routing,
multipath routing, load balancing and distributed algorithms for fast rerouting. I am also interested in network topology discovery mechanisms using passive and active measurements (take a look to our mrinfo data set).
Currently, I am involved in the Trilogy project, and I investigate routing and transport protocol interactions to provide a general multipath forwarding scheme (take a look to our multipath work).
