Call for Presentations
October 21 - October 23, 2001
Oakland, California
The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its
23rd meeting in Oakland, CA, between October 21-23, 2001. The
meeting will be hosted by Cisco Systems. 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.
The special theme for NANOG23 is Backbone Security. We invite
presentations on security topics, including IPSec, traffic filtering, DoS,
and configuration and protection of the backbone infrastructure. In
addition to the themed security session, NANOG also invites presentations
on topics related to backbone engineering and operations.
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

The deadline for
proposals is September 10, 2001. While the majority of speaking slots will
