Call for Presentations

Montreal, Canada

October 3 - 5, 1999

NANOG will hold its 17th meeting in Montreal, Canada on October 3 - 5, 1999. NANOG conferences provide a forum for the coordination and dissemination of technical information related to large-scale (i.e., national/international) Internet backbone networking technologies and operational practices.

NANOG meetings, held three times each year, include two days of short presentations, plus afternoon/evening tutorial sessions. Meetings are informal, with an emphasis on relevance to current backbone engineering practices. The conference draws around 500 participants, mainly consisting of engineering staff from large national service providers, and members of the research and education community.

Now in its fifth year, NANOG evolved from the NSFNET "regional-techs" meetings, where technical staff from the regional networks met to discuss operational issues of common concern. With the emergence of the commercial Internet, NANOG meetings evolved to include a broader base of providers, network operators, and researchers.

NANOG 17 will be hosted by Nortel Networks.

NANOG invites presentations on backbone engineering, coordination, and research topics. Presentations should highlight issues relating to technology already deployed or soon to be deployed in core Internet backbones and exchange points.

Previous meetings have included presentations on:

Backbone traffic engineering
Inter-provider security and routing protocol authentication
Routing scalability in backbone infrastructures
Security issues for the Internet core
Routing policy specification and backbone router configuration
Building large-scale measurement infrastructure
Cooperative inter-provider caching
Alternatives to hot-potato routing
Recommendations on queue management and congestion avoidance
Experience with differentiated services
Inter-domain multicast deployment
Backbone network failure analysis

Tutorials have covered topics such as:

BGP case studies
ISP security: real-world techniques
External route selection
IP multicast technologies

How to Present

See Presenting at NANOG section for complete submission guidelines.

NANOG also welcomes suggestions/recommendations for tutorials, panels and other presentation topics.
