Projects
*Aug. 2007 - Mar. 2009*	THUBT: A Locality-Aware Bittorrent System
	This work is aiming to build a platform on CERNET for our BitTorrent research in Tsinghua. We implemented Prof. Pei Cao's SMART TRACKER from Stanford University in our system and provided an RSS-based Auto-Download client in order to get the best performance. Our research area include Overlay Optimization and Peer Behavior Study. Project Leader

Apr. 2007 - Dec. 2007	WhereIs: Latency Estimation Between Arbitrary Internet Hosts
	This work is a project of Microsoft Research Asia. We design and implement a new Network Coordinate System, which uses a novel Inverse Positioning Process to extract distances to nodes without their participation. We evaluate it under real network measurements on Planetlab and fint that this system can achieve better accuracy under both stable and dynamic network conditions with low overhead. More about NC Research in Tsinghua System Implementation Experimental Study on Planetlab

Jun. 2008 - Nov. 2008	Intergrated Download Module
	This Project is to build an integrated dynamic link library for Ftp, Bittorrent and Emule downloadings. Project Leader

Sep. 2006 - Dec. 2007	Design of Application Layer Multicast based Streaming Media System and its Experimental Research by Internet
	This work is a pure IPv6 Peer-to-Peer streaming media system called SMTV, offering TV programs for students in Tsinghua as well as other Cernet Universities. It is funded by National Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Project No.60473087, No.60703052. User Interface Service Maintenance

Dec. 2006 - Mar. 2007	Observation and Analysis of BGP Routers’ Behaviors Under Stressful Conditions.
	This work is to explore the performance of Cernet2 Core Routers under extreme conditions such as large route table injection when there is a BGP misconfiguration. It is funded by China New Generation Internet (CNGI), Project No.CNGI-04-13-2T. Test Plan Design and Implementation

Aug. 2007 - Aug. 2008	Public Service Oriented Demonstration Prototype Response System on Demand.
	The project is to build a public traffic service system as a demonstration of public service oriented response-on-demond systems. It is funded by The National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program), Project No.2007CB310806. Service Mining Technical Support

Mar. 2006 - Jul. 2006	The Design and Realization of Controllable Frequency and Power Transmitter.
	This is my bachelor thesis. It is aiming to build a Radio Frequency Transimitter, the frequency and transmit power of which can be controlled by software. Survey and Design Software Programming Hardware Realization
