Arvind's research focuses on designing, implementing, and evaluating novel content delivery networking (CDN) systems in environments like the Internet of Everything (IoE). In present day network architectures, he tries to understand the challenges associated in designing large-scale CDNs and look for practical solutions. He also explores next-generation Internet architectures such as information-centric networking (ICN) to provide better support to present day value-added Internet services (cloud services, content delivery systems, mobile services) that dominantly represent the modern day Internet ecosystem. Arvind is advised by Professor Zhi-Li Zhang.
