Bill Chimiak, PhD, ECE

Biography:

William Chimiak, Bill, is a Computer and Network engineer
(MS, PhD). He has over 30 years of information technology
experience focusing on system engineering, system
administration, and computer networking. He received
his B.S. (Major area was Physics, minor was Mathematics)
in 1975 from the U.S. Naval Academy Annapolis, Maryland,
He served in the Navy as a Nuclear Engineer on the USS
Bainbridge and USS Texas. Afterwards, he earned a Ph.D. in
19845 in ECE from the North Carolina State University.

He co-developed the first FDDI network with all 8 levels
of quality of service implemented. He helped develop the
ACR/NEMA Digital Image Communications (DICOM) protocols
used in hospitals around the world today. He helped
develop the eXpress Transport Protocol, which would have
prevented many of the network problems we have today.

In 1999, received the IEEE Engineer of the year award for
transitioning the network used by all the North Carolina
educational systems from the 155 Mbps ATM network to a
600 Mbps IP over SONET-based network. In the Brody School
of Medicine in 1999, Greenville, North Carolina, he set
a 110 mile long set of microwave Ethernet transponders
to provide telemedicine networks from small hospitals to
the Brody School of Medicine

He co-developed a 64 bit version of IPv4, called Enhanced
IP (EnIP). The details are located at www.enhancedip.org

Published Enhanced IP: IPv4 with 64-Bit Addresses,
Issue No. 02 - Feb. (2014 vol. 47), ISSN: 0018-9162,

3. Published a draft RFC,
draft-chimiak-enhanced-ipv4-03.txt on EnIP.

He helped implement an IP Multimedia System and the open
Extended Packet Core system with orchestrated Network
Function Virtualization. He set up and operated a 100
Gbps Brocade MLXe, hybrid OpenFlow/Layer 3 switch to the
Internet 2 backbone which was used to help NASA's 100 Gbps
Storage Area Network demonstration. He implemented an
experimental OpenFlow network to mitigate Elephant Flows
(very large bandwidth utilizations) and limited access
to sites vetted as dangerous or questionable using an
OpenFlow system. He setup a 100 Gbps Internet 2 Flow
State Firewall - a layer 2 VLAN based firewall.

He was a member of Internet 2 since the formation of
Internet 2. He set up a research network with access to
the Internet 2 international network.

He developed two home systems for visually impaired individuals.
