Bob's thesis was focused on how to choose the best server when data is replicated in the Internet, which we called the "server selection problem." To address this, Bob built, validated, and distributed the first robust tools for bottleneck bandwidth measurement. Subsequent to Bob's work, a number of other reseachers picked up the problem and it has become an active area of ongoing investigation.

Bob is currently (2004) Research Assistant Professor, Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, West Virginia University.

Paul's thesis was motivated by the simple question: "Why is the Web so slow?" - which turned out to have very interesting answers. In the process, Paul developed statistical models of Web workloads, a distributed Web measurement platform, and an innovative method for analyzing Web transactions based on the idea of critical path analysis.

Paul is currently (2008) Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of Wisconsin (Madison).

Jun's thesis work concentrated on trying to understand the conditions during packet loss in the Internet. He developed methods for estimating buffer sizes in routers, and for isolating lossses in wireless settings, based on the technique he developed called "loss pairs."

Jun is currently (2008) Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of North Dakota.

Anukool's thesis research was concerned with a new kind of traffic analysis, namely network-wide. He developed the first methods for characterizing and understanding the ensemble of traffic flows in a network as a whole. He showed that the resulting methods have considerable power for detecting and classifying network anomalies.

Anukool is currently (2008) Founder and CEO, Guavus LLC.
