Tom Vest, Independent Consultant
|
Statement of interest: I'd welcome an opportunity to serve on the NANOG Steering Committee, and believe that my rather unconventional background would enable me to make a unique contribution to the SC's undertakings during what is likely to be a period of dramatic changes in what "network operations" involves. The changes that are likely to boost the salience of my international economic and policy expertise are being driven largely by recent developments in the regional address policy communities -- particularly the widespread adoption of transfer-centered strategies for managing the post-allocation era distribution of IPv4, and the increasing sensitivity to and elimination of "operational" references from existing and proposed number resource policies.
As a result of the first of these developments, the old system of managing protocol number resources through the mutual consent of address users will gradually be supplemented by indirect management via the "invisible hand" of the market. This shift is likely to cause IP address assignment (including address format selection) and usage practices to become even less bounded and predictable, and even more commercial and strategic than they are today. At the same time, a more thorough and explicit separation of RIR community policies from commercial and operational practices could progressively undermine the shared understanding of IP number-related operational issues among network operators. To increase the odds that ops-tested and proven "best practices" in IP address assignment and utilization will ultimately fill that gap, organizations like NANOG will need to focus more, and more consistent attention on the choices that network operators make that determine how IP number resources are used in production networks. And in a future where market forces are likely to strongly influence the IP numbering options from which they can choose, increased understanding of economic factors is likely to become an unavoidable adjunct to operational know-how.
I would be honored to have an opportunity to work with the NANOG Steering Committee, to help prepare for these and/or any other developments of operational significance in the years ahead.
Biography:
Tom Vest has been an independent consultant, primarily on the economics of international network infrastructure deployment and cross-border Internet service delivery since 2006. His recent consulting engagements with the RIPE NCC Science Group, OECD Economics & Statistics Division, ICANN, Analysys|Mason, and others, straddle a broad range of strategic Internet measurement, analysis, commercial and public policy-related matters. The former Tokyo-based Senior Network Operations Manager for America Online (2000-2003), Tom was responsible for design, deployment, local management, and interconnection/peering for AOL's Transit Data Network (ATDN) in China, Australia, and Japan, and before that for deploying, maintaining, and interconnecting AOL's remote points of presence and caching complexes in Europe and South America. In the intervening years, he served as CAIDA's Senior Analyst for Internet Economics and Policy (2006), and as Research Program Manager for Packet Clearing House (2004-2005). Prior to joining AOL, Tom was a PhD candidate in international trade, monetary, and telecom policy at the University of Southern California, where he also served for three years as a program associate and rapporteur for the Pacific Council on International Policy/Council on Foreign Relations, covering critical international network and content industry issues including ITU multilateral settlement reforms and proposed "international charging arrangements for Internet services.
