Abdul Wasey
Network and firmware engineer. I work on secure boot for Qualcomm and OpenWrt platforms at Quantum Networks, and spend most of my own time in the Linux data path and on infrastructure I run myself.
Lately that's been xdp-bfd, a BFD engine that keeps its timing under load that makes normal BFD daemons flap, and the fixes it produced in FRRouting's BFD daemon. I've also been working on multipath networking, which turned into fixes in the kernel's Multipath TCP and in mqvpn, a multipath VPN over QUIC.
Writing
Open Source
- Multipath TCP fix released in the 6.12, 6.6 and 6.1 stable kernels.
- Several merged fixes to the BFD daemon, including demand mode and auth.
- Three BFD fixes, including keeping the BGP session up when the peer sets BFD to AdminDown.
Projects
- BFD for Linux with the fast path in XDP. 0 flaps on 1022 sessions where stock bfdd flapped 18,910 times.
- Two-node Proxmox cluster running 30+ services behind one reverse proxy.
- APNIC-funded dual-stack rollout across the NITK Surathkal network.
