== Developed products and technologies ==
The Carrier Ethernet Switch Router (CESR) developed by Gumaste and his team were transferred to PSU ECIL.<ref>http://www.ecil.co.in/ECR/ECR.pdf</ref> The CESRs are a family of three products - a table-top switch with 4x1G and 8FE ports, a metro edge device with data-center capability, and a core router with 96Gbps cross-connect capability. One of the salient features of the CESRs was a 1-microsecond port-to-port latency across layer 0-3.<ref>{{Cite journal | url=https://www.osapublishing.org/jlt/abstract.cfm?uri=jlt-32-17-3043 |title = On the Design, Implementation, Analysis, and Prototyping of a 1- μs, Energy-Efficient, Carrier-Class Optical-Ethernet Switch Router|journal = Journal of Lightwave Technology|volume = 32|issue = 17|pages = 3043–3060|date = September 2014|last1 = Gumaste|first1 = Ashwin|last2 = Singh|first2 = Rishiraj|last3 = Mehta|first3 = Saurabh|last4 = Bidkar|first4 = Sarvesh|doi = 10.1109/JLT.2014.2336374|bibcode = 2014JLwT...32.3043B}}</ref> The CESRs were also developed as a carrier-class technology. The CESRs have been widely deployed, such as in service providers <ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/info-tech/MTNL-to-deploy-telecom-tech-developed-by-IIT-B-across-city/article20599494.ece |title = MTNL to deploy telecom tech developed by IIT-B across city}}</ref> and data-centers.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/mtnl-to-roll-out-fastest-data-centre-developed-by-iitb/ |title = MTNL to roll out "fastest" data centre developed by IITB|date = 2011-04-30}}</ref> In the year 2018, Gumaste and his team developed a terabit SDN router in collaboration with ANURAG DRDO.
