Jim Binkley
I am a network engineer, researcher, and teacher in the Portland State University Computer Science department.
I can be contacted via email at jrb@cs.pdx.edu.
You should be able to find an ASCII text syllabus
and other information for classes listed below. Times for classes
during the 2004/2005 school year are shown. If a time is not shown,
it means I have taught the class in the past but may or may not
teach it again in the future. The syllabus is only up to date if
the class is currently being taught, else it represents the last time
the class was taught. If you are interested in a class, please look at
the syllabus. The TCP/IP class, Routing, and Network Security classes have
lecture slides on-line. Other classes may or may not have slides.
You may either click through the slides or download a pdf version of
the lecture and print it.
My research interests include network security, routing, and
network management.
Currently a number of collaborators at OHSU, and PSU are working
on a number of Portland MAN network projects including a layer 3 presence
that includes an Internet2 connection and a layer 2 exchange.
The layer 3 presence is called
PREN
(for Portland Regional and Educational
Network). This project hopes to directly tie together local Portland
universities with high-speed networking, and also hopes to tie
those universities to
Internet2
sites elsewhere.
Our layer 2 exchange at the Pittock building and recently extended
with fiber to Easystreet and Fortix is called
NWAX
for Northwest Area Exchange. This is an Ethernet-based
MAN.
In the recent past at Portland State University,
DARPA funded a project at PSU with the focus on mobile security.
Please see the
Secure Mobile Networking
project link for more information. We have developed and deployed
a version of Mobile-IP for
FreeBSD.
PSU as a university and the Computer Science department have
been given a 3 year certification by the NSA as a Center for Academic
Excellance in Computer Science.
Please see the following web page for information:
PSU CIA .
In collaboration with Sysgroup, Janaka Jayawardena, CECS Directory of
Computing Systems, and David Burns, CECS Network Manager, we have
established a network lab in the Computer Science department.
The network lab exists
for research and training in networking. For more information on the
lab, please see:
CECS netlab.
As an example of "netlab" work, please see our Computer Action Team
web page that shows the open-source ourmon system at
ourmon .
This page shows recent activity on PSU's core DMZ network.
The latest open-source release of ourmon can be downloaded as well.
We also have a general web page for the College of Engineering's
network. Please see:
Network lab projects currently include ourmon based network visualization
projects, network driver development, and wireless mobility research.
