About the Contributor

Pascal Thubert has been with the Technology Center since joining Cisco Systems in 2000. He leads a group that has been working on IPv6 networking mobility for the past five years. Pascal is the author of a number of Internet drafts and IETF working group documents, in particular RFC 3963 (NEMO). He wrote the initial implementation of IPv6 network mobility and experimented with a number of additional features for route optimization and MANET. Some of these experiments were conducted with automakers, and his team, together with the Renault Prospect & Research division, won the Jun MURAI award in 2003 for their IPv6 e-Vehicle project. Before Cisco, Pascal was a lead network architect at IBM.
