Freek Dijkstra

Three quick pointers:

• Freek Dijkstra. My personal website, containing background information on me (mostly out of date).
• Network Research Group at SARA.
• System and Network Engineering the group at the University of Amsterdam.

Please do not hesitate to contact me personally if you are looking for something, but can not find it. At worst, I also don't know and will redirect you to another source. You can mail me at fdijkstr at science.uva.nl.
