      Riverbed SteelHead and SteelHead Mobile has been leading world product for making applications and networks work faster and tend to more responsive.However, over the years as network gets more stable, cheaper and deployment moves out of paid dedicated circuitry (ex. MPLS) into shared infrastructure(ex. Internet) the same problem presents itself in new form with different network characteristics and application behavior. This calls for revamping the technology and drive more innovation into it to achieve even better performance on non-dedicated lines with SDWAN defining the application routing at the edge and cloud centers.We are striving to dive into this to decipher these challenges and make applications and network more reliant, resilient and performance oriented. Show less Responsible for Riverbed Client Software running on Windows/OSX platforms to achieve WAN optimisation with the peer steelhead device.The work involves understanding on L3-L7 protocols, and their fallacies, windows filter driver/OSX kernel extensions development and debugging kernel level modules.Focussed on network stack, network programming and security aspects of end host.Also resposible for implementing FileAccess Protocols (Smb, Smb2/3) optimisation for Riverbed Steelheads, and dealing with Windows AD, and samba domain join tools Show less
