The research focus of Rahamatullah Khondoker is on Future Internet Architectures Network
Security Software-Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization. In his PhD thesis
the author tackles challenges of today's layered network architecture (such as TCP IP protocol
stack) which is inflexible. He proposes that the evolution of the network can be achieved by
first decoupling applications from the networks and second selecting the best network or
protocol automatically based on the applications' requirements. With the provided language
applications are able to express their requirements and networks expose their capabilities
such that the most appropriate network and protocol are selected automatically.
