What role do you play in the community and/or what subsystem(s) do you work on?

I am one of the contributors to the networking subsystem. My contributions have been all across the map from writing new device drivers and fixing bugs to integrating contributions from research projects. As a side effect of these project efforts, I also maintain the bridging and iproute2 utilities.
