In 1984, 1985, and 1987 he taught a graduate course on performance analysis at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This led him to write a book entitled `` Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis,'' which is now a popular textbook on the subject. It is used at numerous universities and has won the 1991 ``Best Advanced How-to Book, Systems'' award from Computer Press Association. His third book `` FDDI Handbook: High-Speed Networking with Fiber and Other Media'' was published in 1994 by Addison Wesley.

His fourth book entitled " High-Performance TCP/IP: Concepts, Issues, and Solutions," was published by Prentice Hall in November 2003. He has contributed chapters to 11 other books.

Until 1994, he was a Senior Consulting Engineer at Digital Equipment Corporation, Littleton, Massachusetts, where for 16 years, he lead the design and analysis of many computer systems and networking technologies including VAX Clusters, Ethernet, DECnet, OSI, FDDI, and ATM networks. He was also an active member of the All-Optical Networking (AON) consortium consisting of Digital, M.I.T./Lincoln Lab, and AT&T that successfully bid for DARPA funding and started the research on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) networks.

He is very active in the areas of wireless networking, network security, optical networking, traffic management and quality of service in data networks. His research has influenced the directions of Traffic Management and Testing working groups of ATM Forum. He is an active participant in several other industry forums including WiMAX Forum, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Optical Interoperability Forum (OIF), Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE), American National Institute (ANSI), and Telecommunications Institute of America (TIA).

He has 14 patents, 45+ journal and magazine papers, and 65+ conference papers. His papers have been widely referenced and he is known for his research on congestion control and avoidance, traffic modeling, performance analysis, and error analysis. He is a co-inventor of the DECbit scheme, which has been implemented in various forms in DECnet, OSI, Frame Relay, and ATM Networks (Explicit Forward Congestion Indication). The DECbit paper has received ACM SIGCOMM Test of Time Award. His team has developed several switch algorithms for explicit rate-based congestion avoidance in ATM networks. Recently, Dr. Jain and his team have introduced the concept of "Congestion Coherence" for wireless networks and "Multi-level ECN" (MECN) that uses TCP/IP's two ECN bits to indicate four different levels of congestion instead of a binary feedback. Dr. Jain has also contributed to signaling, protection and restoration in optical networks.
