Charles E. Perkins

I have worked on projects involving Mobile-IP, Ad-Hoc Networking, IPv6, mesh networking, and AAA protocols. I've also worked on projects involving miniaturization of operating systems, parallel processing, and lots of Unix systems administration. Unix systems have always been great at networking, so I learned a lot about the Internet (and people!) by administering communities of technical professionals using networked computers.

During 2007, I left Nokia and began my assignment to Nokia-Siemens Networks. In December 2007, as a cost-cutting measure, Nokia-Siemens terminated our highly successful project in Mountain View and, consequently, the employment of our whole group.

Note: this page is terribly out of date. I have at least updated my employment situation, but there are many patents, publications, and even a new book that I'd like to include here.
