Worked with the client team of SD-WAN division, formerly Pertino Networks.
Icmp responder ->
• Designed and developed a Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo responder module as part of the client’s pluggable packet path architecture to establish reachability from a client to other hosts over the overlay network. Worked with an existing mature cross-platform codebase in C++ across Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android.
• Allowed us to determine whether a remote peer is active and reachable, even if a local firewall is operating.
Internal nmap like tool ->
• Designed and developed an nmap like internal tool to scan the overlay network from a client and find inconsistencies between control layer information and the actual network.
• Also provided information on the number of clients which have firewall running or are inconsistent with control Layer information.
Manifest driven diagnostics
• Added ability to select which tests and subtests to run at run-time through a JSON manifest file.
• This enabled future ease for remote engineers to diagnose a client in case of troubleshooting.
