Nikhil Bhagat, a distinguished Network Architect has been honored with the Best Paper Award by the International Journal of Core Engineering and Management for his research on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and its role in multi-homed networks. The award recognizes Bhagat’s research paper, “The Role of BGP in Multi-Homed Networks: Best Practices for Internet Redundancy & Traffic Optimization,” published in 2021.
Presented on January 5, 2022, Bhagat’s paper provides in-depth insights into the strategic implementation of BGP to enhance internet redundancy, optimize traffic management, and strengthen network resilience for enterprises operating with multiple internet service providers (ISPs). His work outlines best practices and advanced configurations that enable businesses to minimize downtime and improve global connectivity, a crucial factor in today’s digitally connected world.
The IJCEM Best Paper Certificate Award is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the networking and cloud computing domain. Bhagat’s paper was selected from a highly competitive pool of over 500 submissions, reflecting its significant contribution to modern network infrastructure strategies. The selection committee, comprised of leading academics and industry professionals, commended Bhagat’s practical and innovative approach to BGP deployment in multi-homed environments.
“This research bridges the gap between theoretical BGP configurations and real-world implementation, providing network engineers with actionable insights to improve performance and reliability,” stated one of the Journal’s senior reviewers.
A Significant Milestone in Internet Architecture Research
The Best Paper Award further solidifies Bhagat’s influence in the fields of networking and enterprise network architecture. His work has already garnered attention from internet service providers, data center operators, and IT infrastructure teams seeking to refine their routing strategies for improved efficiency and security.
With this accolade, Bhagat continues to lead research efforts in advanced network engineering methodologies, reinforcing his reputation as a thought leader in the industry. His contributions are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping future developments in internet routing, failover mechanisms, and large-scale network optimization.
