Stanislav Shalunov

Stanislav Shalunov (born 1 Oct 1973) is an Internet architect known for the Low Extra Delay Background (LEDBAT) protocol, which replaces TCP congestion control to avoid creating network delays when the network is 100% used. He began developing LEDBAT for the Internet2 consortium to solve the traffic congestion problem and finished it at BitTorrent. It is now used by companies including Apple and BitTorrent and accounts for between 13% and 20% of all Internet traffic. In 2000, he published Netkill, a tool which can bring down web servers. Shalunov graduated from Moscow State University with a Master's in Mathematics and Computer Science in 1995 and earned a Master's in Mathematics with a Computer Science minor at University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1997.
Business career
Shalunov started working on internet transport protocols at Internet2 in 2000. Open Garden initially introduced a tethering app which allowed users to share internet connectivity between laptops and Android phones Shalunov believes that routing, as it exist now, is inefficient, and that Open Garden, using mesh networking, is the solution.
