Dr. Nicola Bonelli

Involved in the design and development of multi-threaded monitoring systems for packet capture and classification of GPRS tunneling protocol v1 and v2 (LTE). Responsible for the implementation of distributed heuristics and DPI for the classification of user protocols of mobile terminals, including but not limited to peer-to-peer, video-streaming and real-time communications (i.e. Skype).

Involved in EU DEMONS project http://fp7-demons.org/, the aim of my research is focused on lock-free and wait-free algorithms for packet capture and classification on muti-core architectures and high-speed links (+10G). The outcomes of the project are PFQ, a high-performance packet capture system designed for the Linux kernel (http://pfq.github.com/PFQ/) and Blockmon, a user-space modular system for flexible traffic monitoring and analysis (http://blockmon.github.com/blockmon/).
