Call for Presentations
Sheraton Atlanta Hotel
February 18-20, 2001
The North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) will hold its 21st
meeting in Atlanta, GA, between February 18-20, 2001. The meeting will be
hosted by Riverstone Networks. 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 over 600 participants, mainly consisting
of engineering staff from large national service providers, and members of
the research and education community.
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.
The
deadline for proposals is January 8, 2001. While the majority of
speaking slots will be filled by January 8, a limited number of slots
will be available after that date for topics that are exceptionally timely
and important. Submissions will be reviewed by the NANOG Program
Committee, and presenters will be notified of acceptance by January 22,
2001.
NANOG also welcomes suggestions/recommendations for tutorials, panels
and other presentation topics.
