Projects:
* Application specific performance comparison of MANET routing protocols:
A performance comparison of mobile ad hoc network routing
protocols was performed. Various applications like FTP,
TELNET, HTTP and CBR were maintained in the application
layer. An implementation of our protocol SAFAR in GloMoSim
was developed. Its performance was compared to various
proactive, reactive and hybrid protocols.

* SAFARsim - multithreaded Manet simulator.
Created a simulator to study the performance of SAFAR. The
simulator is unique in that it represents each mobile node
as a separate thread communicating via shared memory with
appropriate functions to simulate physical layer packet
loss.

* easyHTTP - A simple implementation of HTTP in Linux using C++.

* JPEG Vs JPEG2000 - A comparison of the two compression standards 
and their performance using MATLAB and Adobe Photoshop. The compression 
was compared at various ratios and color depths and results were drawn
