Professional

Mark W. Garrett is Director of the Internet Performance Research Group at Telcordia Technologies. His current technical work includes network management and operations support systems for Internet and NGN services. He also manages a Darpa-sponsored activity (the "Felix Project"), on Internet performance monitoring, and network topology discovery from sparse packet probe data.

Dr. Garrett co-authored RFC 2381, which is the Internet Proposed Standard on Quality of Service mapping between IP and ATM technologies (Aug 1998). In the ATM Forum Traffic Management working group, he was one of the principal contributors toward the ATM service architecture reflected in the Forum's TM 4.0 specification (completed in 1996). He worked on the ANX project technical requirements, which specifies how Internet VPN services will be used by the U.S. automotive industry. In 1996, Dr. Garrett organized and chaired an NSF workshop on Internet Statistics Measurement and Analysis (with K. Claffy).

Dr. Garrett received the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Columbia University in 1982, 1984 and 1993, respectively, and has been with Telcordia since 1984. His doctoral work included the first compilation and detailed analysis of a long trace of variable-rate video traffic, produced by encoding a complete movie. Other research projects have included integrated services LAN protocols, hardware prototypes and simulation.

Dr. Garrett is a senior member of the IEEE, and served as guest editor of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas of Communication issue on Real-Time Video Services in Multimedia Networks (Aug 1997).
