After working in various roles as an engineer within Cisco for the past 6.5 years, Steven Edward Moore transitioned to the IP Routing Protocol Scalability Team. There, his focus encompasses all aspects of extending network and protocol scalability: considering new features and optimizations to the protocol architecture, designing tests to measure current protocol scalability, working with customers to implement scaling functionality in their network, and participating in events such as Networkers to educate others on how to enhance their network's performance and scalability from the routing perspective.
