My name is Simone Basso. I'm a PhD student at the Nexa Center for Internet & Society of Politecnico di Torino. My PhD is about net neutrality with focus on gathering data useful to quantify it from distributed measurements. In this context I contributed to write (and now maintain) the Neubot project that develops a software to collect precisely this kind of data. More recently I also started studying the identification of network-level anomalies (e.g., changes in the typical packet-loss rate) from application-level measurements.

More broadly I'm interested in networking, e.g., TCP, Internet traffic management, peer-to-peer architectures, streaming. I am also very interested in system programming, kernel drivers and rootkits. I also really like Slackware and OpenBSD as well as C and Python programming.

I am joining Wikipedia to contribute to my areas of expertise and interest as well as to bring in an additional pairs of eyeballs and help. With time I guess I will become more expert and be able to contribute more widely to it!
