I'm not actually into research per se but i do keep myself updated on happenings in the networking field.
there are two topics of current interest for me,
a) the first one is a protocol that would do stuff similar to the ricochet network. i had been considering ideas about such a network when i came across an article describing pretty much what i'd been trying to achieve :) i'm looking into it and seeing if i can suggest some improvements
b) p2p. i'm doing something akin to a comparitive study of gnutella, alpine, gdnp and ppwan
c) i'm looking into java, jini, linux, perl and wireless internet access, quite a mouthful isn't it? ;)
here are some funky links,
the resource for the latest java news
the linux docs
other fav links,
bruce eckel's <thinking> books
a book on the linux kernel
an article on japh
More info and stuff coming soon!!!
