Tim Strayer Division Scientist Internetwork Research BBN Technologies

Short Bio

Dr. W. Timothy Strayer is a Division Scientist in the BBN Technologies Internetwork Research Department. He received his PhD from the University of Virginia in 1992, where he did work on next-generation network protocols, reliable multicast, and distributed object-oriented parallel processing systems. He joined BBN in 1997 from Sandia National Laboratories (California), where he worked on next generation transport protocols, reliable multicast, and distributed collaboration systems. While at BBN, he has worked on several DARPA and industry sponsored projects in the areas of Active Networking, satellite packet switching, mobile IP, virtual private networks, and routing systems. He is currently heading an effort to enable packet traceback in IP networks. He has written over 25 journal and conference papers, several book chapers, and co-authored The Xpress Transfer Protocol (Addison-Wesley, 1992), and Virtual Private Networks: Technologies and Solutions (Addison-Wesley, 2001). He is a Senior Member of IEEE.
