I am Kevin Vermeulen, a full-time CNRS researcher at LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France.

I am interested in building networked measurement systems to better understand and improve the Internet.

In particular the systems and techniques that I develop are related to these different topics:

  • Network topology
  • Network performance
  • Network security
  • Traffic engineering

Before joining the CNRS, I was a postdoc at Columbia University working with professor Ethan Katz-Bassett.

I obtained my doctorate in 2020 under the supervision of professor Timur Friedman at Sorbonne Université.

I am the maintainer of the Reverse Traceroute system. The system currently runs half a million reverse traceroutes per day in coordination with the M-Lab NDT speedtests. The data are publicly available here.

Awards:

  • Best artifact award for our paper “Replication: Towards a Publicly Available Internet scale IP Geolocation Dataset” (ACM IMC 2023)
  • Best short paper award for our paper “The best of both worlds: high availability CDN routing without compromising control” (ACM IMC 2022)
