Junaid Islam has developed numerous network protocols over the last 37 years and continues to innovate new ones. His integrated work builds on decades of protocol innovation—from MPLS priority queuing and MLPP to Software‑Defined Perimeter—and now extends to policy‑aware, resilient RF systems that unify terrestrial and non‑terrestrial infrastructure.

Junaid Islam helped develop INSPiRE, a dynamic, cognitive network‑slicing architecture designed for space communications—enabling mission-critical traffic management across Earth‑Moon and Mars link topologies with guaranteed QoS and autonomous reconfiguration under disruptive conditions.

Junaid’s achievements include being the IPv6 Hall Of Fame for creating the first working version of Mobile IPv6.
