Career
Rahul Aggarwal is a Distinguished Engineer at Juniper Networks [Juniper Networks]. He contributes primarily to the architecture, development and technical evangelising of MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE), Layer 3 and Layer 2 VPNs, multicast, MPLS multicast, IP routing and wireless technologies. He works closely with Service Providers all over the world. He also works closely with other vendors and is a significant contributor to Juniper's IETF standardization and protocol innnovation efforts. He is also a regular presenter in several IP and MPLS related conferences.

He is the author or co-author of over 25 IETF Internet drafts and RFCs in the areas of MPLS, IP Routing and VPNs. His recent contributions include co-designing P2MP MPLS TE [[RFC 4875]and innovations in the areas of MPLS OAM and multicast in BGP/MPLS VPNs and VPLS.

Prior to joining Juniper Networks he was with the SmartEdge IP routing group at Siara Networks and Redback Networks. He contributed to the architecture and evolution of the SE800 from its inception to early deployment as an edge routing and subscriber management platform. In particular he was the leading architect and developer of the packet classification, MPLS and MPLS VPN implementation on the SmartEdge 800 Router including the system, control plane and forwarding path components.

Prior to joining Redback Networks, he was at Fore Systems between 1998 and 2000, where he worked on the development of OSPF, MPLS and TE.

Education
He received a B.E. in Electronics and Communication from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee in 1996. He received his M.S. in Computer Science from University of Minnesota in 1998 Alumni Profile. His Graduate Research was focussed on QoS and stored video delivery across resource constrained networks.

His professional interests include routing and signaling development, IP and MPLS system and forwarding design, packet classification, VPNs, subscriber management, QoS and Traffic Engineering and wireless networks.
