Summary
🤩
RockstarAnuradha Karuppiah is a Principal Engineer based in San Jose with 11 years of focused experience building high-performance networking software and hardware integrations. Currently at NVIDIA, she brings deep expertise in EVPN, BGP, and hardware-accelerated dataplanes developed during prior roles at Cumulus where she led EVPN development and upstreamed key features into the widely used FRRouting project. Her open-source contributions to FRR include advanced EVPN multihoming, EAD route handling, new CLI controls, and adaptations for DPDK-based dataplanes—work that spans both control plane logic and dataplane initialization. Earlier roles at Dell, Tellabs, RGB Networks, and others underlie a strong foundation in SDN, multicast, QoS, and L3 forwarding. She combines system-level protocol design with practical hardware acceleration experience, making her adept at turning complex networking specs into production-ready, high-throughput implementations.

Contributions summary:Anuradha contributed significantly to the FRRouting (FRR) project, focusing on enhancements related to EVPN multihoming and EAD (Ethernet Auto-Discovery) routes within the BGP daemon (bgpd). Their work includes modifications to the handling of EAD routes, specifically related to fragmentation and the use of user-configured route targets. They added new CLI commands for configuring EAD-ES route targets and controlling the number of EVIs per EAD fragment. Furthermore, the user made changes to support and integrate with a DPDK-based dataplane, which involves the initialization of the hardware, creation of PBR rules with stats gathering.
